Unlike traditional military historians, Topitsch approaches the subject as a sociologist. He analyzes the ideological structures of the totalitarian systems. He draws parallels between the Soviet and Nazi systems but ultimately argues that the Soviet system was more cunning in its geopolitical maneuvering, successfully manipulating the capitalist world into destroying itself.
The book is highly controversial and sits at the center of a major historiographical divide:
: Stalin aimed to remain neutral while the "capitalist" nations (both fascist and democratic) bled each other white, leaving Europe ripe for Soviet "liberation" and revolution. Strategic Preemption
