Learning about Activist Investing

Incoming first-year IB analyst and looking to learn about activist investing. Would appreciate any recommendations people have (books, blogs, newsletters, podcasts, etc...). Would also appreciate any advice people have on how to break into the space. From initial research seems like top IB --> top PE but would welcome any other advice. Thanks!
