The book Visions of Victory explores the views of eight leaders of the major states that participated in World War II: Hitler, Mussolini, Tojo, Chiang Kai-shek, Stalin, Churchill, de Gaulle, and Roosevelt, and compares their visions for the future, in the event that their faction secured victory.

While the leaders initially focused on the strategy of conducting the war to ensure victory, these strategies were often shaped by their expectations and hopes for the future.

Weinberg assesses the extent to which the events that followed were influenced by their decisions and examines how their visions for the future changed and evolved during the war.

What emerges is a striking picture of post-war worlds.
