He hides the Cold War within this world known child's book, The metaphor of a battle over Butter side up, or down on these fictional characters toast, and their passion to defend it, as well as the actions used to defend it. During the cold war, the USA and USSR were "showing off" their technological breakthroughs to intimidate each other, until a massive nuclear arsenal was built. This is represented as the "Bitsy Big-Boy Boomeroo" which was a small device which would surly end the fight.

Dr. Seuses story, "Butter Battle Book" is, along with the rest of his works, a highly accuret metaphore for a famous event in history, hidden within the innocence of a childs book.
