Suvorov wrote many books on his experiences in Soviet Military Intelligence, the structure and operations of the Red Army and GRU, and the internal secretive Soviet political system dominated by the [[Communist Party of the Soviet Union]] (CPSU), the [[KGB]], and the Soviet Military.

In later years Suvorov turned to the writing of Soviet history.  The first book was on the topic was ''Icebreaker of Revolution'',  which was translated into eighty-eight languages before it first appeared in English in 1992. Other books followed about the history of [[World War II]], and are based on pieces of officially written memoirs and documents of the Soviets. Suvorov's most significant claim was that [[Stalin]] wished to extend the doctrine of Socialism in one country to all of [[Europe]], set to begin by military invasion on the West in July 1941 (most probably on July 6). The planned date followed the actual Nazi invasion by only about 2 weeks.
