“Mein Kampf” was one of three political books that changed the world in or around WW-II (see commentary). The others were “Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung” (Chinese) and “Das Kapital” (Russian). Mao’s little red book contained 267 dipsy quotes (“The people are the sea the revolution swims in)” and became the most printed (non-religious) book of all time (perhaps 6 billion copies). Das Kapital (The Capital), by Karl Marx, was a denunciation of industrialization as “the exploitation of the working class”; it paved the way for the dreadful Soviet Union, and has likely sold a few million copies (nobody knows).
