Two books in the 20th century killed more than 100 million people each.
Mein Kampf.
Silent Spring.

Hitler only murdered 20 million, so “Mein Kamph” is out of the running
“The Little Red Book” of Mao could be said to have murdered 153 million however.
While the former two have documentation, “Silent Spring” can only be attributed to all those who died of malaria after the ban on DDT.
DDT is the only real solution to eliminating mosquitoes en mass.

Jim, Mein Kampf is still used as inspirational material for jihadis, and Silent Spring is still killing people worldwide. I am afraid their tenure as lethal weapons isn't over yet.
