I am learning C with “The C Programming Language”, 2nd edition, and also doing each exercise.
Do I need to know assembly in order to debug C programs that I wrote as solutions to the books exercises?
Also, which debugger do you recommend?

You do not need to know assembly to program in C, including debugging. However, if you know assembly, C begins to make a lot of sense; it really helps to have some notions of assembly (preferably, some notions on several distinct architectures, such as x86 and ARM), and not only for debugging.
