#186 Politics might just be as simple as reading a child's book.

A

B

C

D

E

It all started when A challenged the author for never having written a political book. The author took a copy of one of his books and crossed out "_____ _ ______" from the title of the book and wrote in B's name. Since then C, D, and E , all of them have taken the place of the crossed out name in the title. The last part of the crossed out name rhymes with the name of a very famous English football personality,currently plying his trade with Manchester United FC.
What is the title of the book in question? Who is the author? Who are A and B ?
