They don't actually disagree. The core history is more global in nature while the UK survivors guide is written with Europe as the focus.
BOTH books state the Soviets were the first to use them, however in Europe NATO fired first, although that was still AFTER the Soviets were already well on the way to turning China to glass.

So the PACT could rightly claim that NATO were the aggressors. Given it was German that invaded Poland in the first place, the PACT technically held the high moral ground, at least in Europe. Meanwhile over in China, the world was breaking out the popcorn and watching two communist countries do their very best to destroy each other.
