Rossino's ground-breaking research into the 1939 Blitzkrieg into sovereign Poland was summarized by David Lee Poremba in a following way:

"Drawing on a plethora of primary source materials both in the United States and Germany, Rossino, research historian at the Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies, has written a powerful book describing Operation Tannenberg, the code name for the Nazi assault on Poland in 1939... essential reading for everyone interested in this type of ideology and total war..." (David Lee Poremba), "book that every student of the war, the Holocaust, and Nazi Germany will have to read." (Omer Bartov)
