Some References

Number Fields by D. A. Marcus.

An excellent introductory text that proceeds more slowly than the others listed here.

Algebraic Number Theory by A. Fröhlich and M. J. Taylor.

Algebraic Number Theory by J. Neukirch.

Problems in Algebraic Number Theory by M. R. Murty and J. Esmonde.

A textbook originally intended for self-study by students who did not have access to an organized course. The book consists of problems, with solutions given for most of them. I highly recommend solving as many of them as possible.
