Its inclusion in the list implies that though.

That's a poor analogy, we are certainly capable of beating Man Utd, which is more than 99.9% of football teams in this country can say.

I think that these books have changed the world as well.

 

Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels - The Communist Manifesto (1848)

Adolf Hitler - Mein Kampf (1925 - Volume 1, 1926 - Volume 2)

 

Admitedly, perhaps not for the better (although the former can be either for better or worse, or even a bit of both, which is how I feel about it.)

 

But they both changed the world massively and had massive impacts on the course of the twentieth century.

Not sure the ideas in Mein Kampf made a difference to the world since the only bloke to implement them was the bloke that wrote it.

Yeah, but that implementation resulted in the biggest war of all time. I'd say that's quite a difference.
