Book Description
When Germany launched its blitzkrieg invasion of France in 1940, it forever changed the way the world waged war. Although the Wehrmacht ultimately succumbed to superior Allied firepower in a two-front war, its stunning operational achievement left a lasting impression on military commanders throughout the world, even if their own operations were rarely executed as effectively.
Robert Citino analyzes military campaigns from the second half of the twentieth century to further demonstrate the difficulty of achieving decisive results at the operational level. Offering detailed operational analyses of actual campaigns, Citino describes how UN forces in Korea enjoyed technological and air superiority but found the enemy unbeatable; provides analyses of Israeli operational victories in successive wars until the Arab states finally grasped the realities of operational-level warfare in 1973; and tells how the Vietnam debacle continued to shape U.S. doctrine in surprising ways. Looking beyond major-power conflicts, he also reveals the lessons of India's blitzkrieg-like drive into Pakistan in 1971 and of the senseless bloodletting of the Iran-Iraq War.
Citino especially considers the evolution of U.S. doctrine and assesses the success of Desert Storm in dismantling an entrenched defending force with virtually no friendly casualties. He also provides one of the first scholarly analyses of Operation Iraqi Freedom, showing that its plan was curiously divorced from the realities of military history, grounded instead on nebulous theories about expected enemy behavior. Throughout Citino points to the importance of mobility—especially mobilized armor—in modern operational warfare and assesses the respective roles of firepower, training, doctrine, and command and control mechanisms.
Brimming with new insights, Citino's study shows why technical superiority is no guarantee of victory and why a thorough grounding in the history of past campaigns is essential to anyone who wishes to understand modern warfare. Blitzkrieg to Desert Storm provides that grounding as it addresses the future of operational-level warfare in the post-9/11 era.
This book is part of the Modern War Studies series.

Needs a competent editor.......2005-09-03
This is an interesting and provocative book, well worth reading; see the other reviews for that. Unfortunately, it makes very clumsy reading. I think this was not Citino's fault. This seems, in fact, to be the worst edited book I've ever read. The main problem is not typos but repitition: Citino will often say virtually the same thing in virtually the same way within paragraphs. (See for example the comments on the US M3 tank on pp. 58-59.) This is the kind of understandable mistake a writer makes in the course of writing a book, and it is why publishers hire editors and pay them (albeit not very well). This book was published by University Press of Kansas. They need to have a stern talk with whoever edited Citino's book; they have done him an injustice.
Outstanding.......2004-04-13
Despite all of the new technology, the rules of warfare always remain the same. In Blitzkrieg to Desert Storm, Citino analyzes every major military campaign from WWII to the present. The details are amazing. Most history books just tell you what happened, Citino tells you how. Every major battle is broken down into divisions and corps with a complete description of their objectives, capabilities, and commanders. His narrative tone makes book the enjoyable and entertaining while at the same time, informative and stimulating. This book is a must read for anyone interested in topics such as 20th century history, military history, or modern war studies.
an execellent military history of the last sixty years.......2004-02-21
Robert Citino has written an excellent military history that has descibed the development of combined arms warfare. The first section of the book, Citino compares the military doctrines of the United States, Germany, Britain, and Russia during the Second World War. Citino believes that German military doctrine was severely flawed since it was mainly adaptable to wars in Western and Central Europe and did not make logicistical provisions for the campaigns in North Africa and Russia. Citino also praises Russian military doctrine for being able to plan for the mass encirclements of the German army in 1943-1945, but criticizes the Russians for lacking personal intiative in combat. Citino also criticizes the British for only attacking with tanks and showing no personal intiative on the battlefield. However Citino praises the American for being flexible and massing their forces on a single point during Operation Cobra.
The second part of the book, Citino praises the personal freedom allowed officers to conduct battle in the Israeli and Indian armies and writes about the lackluster performance of the Iraqi and Iranian armies that lacked competent officers. In the closing chapters of the book, Citino believes that the victory in Operation Desert Storm was due to superior firepower as well as tactics while Operation Iraqi Freedom was dangerously based on the assumption of internal rebellion and was eventually won by the use of armor. I would reccomend this book for anyone who believes that technology can replace officership and armor.

Of human nature and hemoglobin.......2006-04-30
"Report of the Shroud of Turin" (RST) is the saga of the 1979 testing of the Shroud by STURP -- the American-led "Shroud of Turin Research Project." While well-written and fairly engaging, this volume is less of a "report" on the scientific tests made on the Shroud of Turin than a narrative of the adventure of testing the Shroud.
RST is something of a thriller and detective story. The first half of the book is taken up with the creation of the team, the trials of setting up a visit to Turin, working through the politics of dealing with the Italians, and so on. The rest of the book deals with the 120 hours of Shroud testing and the 3 years of data analysis that followed.
RST also works hard to show STURP in a positive light. The team is shown as cautious and disciplined, while Italians scientists are mostly portrayed as incompetent interlopers trying to horn in on the American team's prep work. Where the Americans design clever non-invasive tests, their Italian counterparts use ad hoc untested protocols that all but destroy parts of the Shroud. While it certainly seems like STURP did its homework, I took this story with a grain of salt.
The book really took off after the testing was complete. Heller narrates his personal, almost obsessive, search for blood on the Shroud, describing his painstaking and heroic attempts to test bits of red material that were almost infinitesimally small. These pages also include a veritable indictment of particle researcher Walter McCrone, who has become the "bete noire" of Shroud research. McCrone is depicted as hogging and adulterating samples. Damningly, he refuses to publish his findings in peer-reviewed journals and turns down several opportunities to debate STURP publicly. His claim of finding traces of iron oxide (used in painting) is countered by STURP's identification (via multiple tests) of the particles as blood. Though Heller repeatedly expresses respect for McCrone's past accomplishments, McCrone's claims (to be fair, related second-hand through Heller's book) sound more and more like the ravings of a frustrated debunker.
I took away a favorable impression of the STURP team from RST. They seem like a honest and dedicated bunch of scientists concerned not to stretch their conclusions beyond the facts. But it's clear that they had their own biases. Most STRUP members identified themselves as Christians of one denomination or another. During the testing, Heller relates how more than one either kissed the Shroud or reverently touched personal objects to it. And Heller's telling of the string of "coincidences" allowing the team to finance the testing moves perilously close to suggesting that heaven was facilitating their work. But Heller could have hidden these biases. That he is willing to depict his team's humanity argues for his overall veracity.
Heller's uncritical acceptance of commonly-held, but flimsily-supported "truths" about the wounds of crucifixion--especially of the "certainty" that nails had to be driven through wrists (rather than hands) in order to support the weight of a human body--somewhat diminish his aura of good judgment. That said, RST had me pulling STURP. In spite of the carbon-14 tests (made after this book's publication) that dated the Shroud to the 14th century, I have enough questions about the Shroud's artistic, historical and forensic mysteries to make me want to pursue it further.
STURP did not rule out that the Shroud could be what many believe it is: the burial cloth of Jesus Christ. But in spite of the attempts of many to discredit the image, it remains an enigma, as supple and subtle as the image it bears.
The Ultimate Rebuttal of Walter McCrone!!.......2005-12-07
The ultimate book written by an actual STURP researcher.
A very humble man, John Heller was. No arrogance, no "better than thou" about him. He simply presents the SCIENCE behind STURP's findings in a very direct, very technical way.
He then addresses the SCIENCE behind Walter McCrone's research in a very direct, very technical way.
It becomes very obvious to the reader that some Scientists have an EGO... and they are so impressed with THEMSELVES, they do the minimum research they deem necessary and then publish their "definitive" conclusion. This was McCrone to a tee.
OOPS... McCrone was shocked to learn that 40 plus researchers on the project disagreed with his "paint pigment in a gelatin binder" concluson. They published their SCIENTIFIC reasons for opposing McCrone's findings in peer reviewed journals. All of McCrone's findings were published in his OWN journal, "The Microscope."
What's McCrone's reaction to this opposition? "They all must be WRONG." He also labled a certain researcher "an a$$... and you can quote me."
The final point that can't be overstated is that McCrone failed to attend various Shroud conferences and forums in the years proceeding. Heller and others were anxious to PUBLICLY challenge the man, but he just sent "assistants" who then read of McCrone's notes.
The Skeptics and CSICOP would have you believe that McCrone was persecuted by 40 zealous Christians (STURP) anxious to "prove" the Shroud as an authentic relic of Jesus. "LIAR, LIAR, PANTS ON FIRE!" (Joe Nickell, are you reading this?) The team were not all Christian, only a handful were "practicing" Christians.
Read The Shroud of Turin's Research Project's conclusions for yourselves! They DID NOT "authenticize" the Shroud as an authentic relic from Jesus' burial. Team leader Ray Roger's avoided ALL theological conclusions, as he told the press, "... there is no test for Jesus."
I disagree with Ray, but he is more of a "Scientist" than I. He simply proved... the Shroud image is not a man made relic (by any means we are aware of), it is instead the acid oxidation (dehydration) of the topmost linen fibrils. He did not want to even flirt with the historical and theological implications this image contains.
My attitude is... If one finds a relic with dozens of qualities that identically match a historic figure and what he experienced... and the relic has a feature just as mysterious and unexplainable as the man's reputation... what more would a historian need?
Jeff Messenger, author of the novel "the Shroud of Torrington."
"The physics of miracles".......2004-12-19
Report on the Shroud of Turin is the best book I have read so far on the famous cloth that allegedly contains an imprint of the crucified Christ. John Heller was a renown physicist who, along with other expert scientists, tested many samples of the original shroud gathered by a U.S. team of scientists who were invited to study the shroud in Turin in 1978. Heller was a self-professed skeptic of relics who had never even seen a picture of the shroud until 1978 and who was surprised to see an article about the subject in Science magazine. Intrigued by the challenge the Shroud offered, Heller read one of Ian Wilson's books on the subject and was alarmed by Wilson's "awful science" and the poor techniques used to check the shroud for blood. When given the opportunity, he jumped at the chance to do more appropriate tests on the shroud samples.
For a scientist, Heller writes in a surprisingly engaging style. He reveals the excitement he and his colleagues experienced when encountering a great new finding to the reader. It sometimes reads like a scientific detective story which, in a sense, it is. He also adds a lot of humor to the work. There are a lot of scientific terms and details in this book, but it is not bogged down by them and is still very enjoyable reading for non-scientific minds like myself. Heller's history of the shroud is very sparse but that is understandable in that he looks at hypotheses that can be tested and is frustrated by historical evidence that cannot be subjected to experiments. He did find historical evidence (however fuzzy) that the shroud was brought from east to west during the 4th crusade which I had not read before (pp. 68-72).
What strikes me is how well Heller responds to Joe Nickell's anti-authenticity work Inquest on the Shroud of Turin. Heller does not claim the shroud is really the imprint of the body of Christ as he several times points out the obvious; that there is "no test for Jesus Christ." Heller does, however, shed light on the work of Dr. Walter McCrone whose findings make up a large portion of Nickell's book. McCrone claimed that he did not find any blood on the shroud samples and, instead, found evidence that the shroud was an artist's forgery in tons of iron oxide particles and vermilion (used in pigment). Nickell maintains that McCrone was the most renown expert to study the shroud (Heller does not dispute McCrone's expertise in his field) and that he was "drummed out" of the Shroud of Turin Research Project (STURP) because his findings disagreed with those of other scientists who wanted the shroud to be authentic. Heller's book takes a different look on Dr. McCrone. He reveals that McCrone did not conduct actual tests on the shroud samples but came to his conclusions solely on what he saw through a microscope. McCrone seemed very quick in coming to his findings and, when it was pointed out to him that his discoveries differed from those of the other scientists in the project he responded cavalierly with "They must be wrong" (pp. 140-1). Rather than being "drummed out" of STURP, he failed to attend a debate in Hamilton, Ontario and a meeting in New London, Connecticut; events to which he was certainly invited by scientists enthusiastic to compare findings with him.
In contrast, Heller, along with chemist Alan Adler and other scientists, worked on the shroud samples for three years and "abso-bloody-lutely" [Heller's word] found blood on the shroud. Their findings did not agree with McCrone's in almost every area. The iron found was pure and did not contain the contaminants found in pigment (p. 196). A tiny amount of vermilion was found but it was not sufficient enough to prove the shroud was painted. Heller also makes an interesting point about the vermilion. Several paintings were made of the shroud and, since it was customary to touch everyday objects to the shroud, these paintings could have easily been placed on the shroud resulting in the small amounts found (p. 212). Heller, who remained skeptical of the shroud's authenticity, entertained other ways the shroud could have been made by an artist, but discovered nothing concrete. In his conclusion, the shroud remains a mystery. Unfortunately, Heller only covered the ways in which a body could have left the imprint in the last chapter. More on this matter would have enhanced the book as would an index. Otherwise, Report is an extremely well-written and convincing rebuttal to Nickell's one-sided account.
Scientific Detective Story.......2004-11-24
It is a hand-spun, hand woven linen cloth with two faint images of the front and back of a man who was apparently scourged and crucified. Its history is obscure before the 14th century. Forty American scientists spent four years running thousands of scientific tests on the Shroud. These scientists had backgrounds in branches of physics, biology, and chemical sciences. Dr. Heller has a doctorate in medicine and has been a professor of internal medicine and medical physics at Yale. He is a Southern Baptist, and a skeptical scientist. He first heard of the Shroud of Turin in 1978. The image is anatomically correct, the pathology and physiology represent medical knowledge unknown before the 19th century (p.2). The report by forensic pathologists paralleled the Gospel accounts. Investigating a controversial subject could affect your "scientific research" (p.11). What a comment on "objective science"! But Dr. Heller regarded the subject as a rare challenge, and became involved. The Catholic Church has never proclaimed it as the shroud of Jesus of Nazareth.
Most major discoveries in science have been made by young investigators (p.23). They are wiling to test new ideas, and experiment. The investigation of the Shroud required a diverse scientific background (pp.36-7). Preparing for the tests in Turin required a test session in Connecticut. Dr. Heller tells of the fortunate coincidences (p.89). Chapter 6 tells of the political machinations from their rivals in Turin; rivalry isn't just in business (p.91). It also describes the technical difficulties in setting up the tests. After the 120 hours of testing in secret was finished, the analysis of the results began.
Chapter 9 explains how they tested the 700 picograms of red substance. The Soret band test showed that this was old acid methemoglobin from old blood. Chapter 10 tells of the meeting of scientists in Colorado Springs. To create the older form of gelatin, they cooked rat tails! A lot of time and effort was spent investigating the anomalous claim of one expert. Mankind is no smarter today than 50,000 years ago. Someone could have figured out something that was thought recently discovered (p.169). Was the Shroud a painting? Six different tests, each acceptable in a court of law, prove the presence of blood on the Shroud (p.186). It was human (p.188). The iron oxide on the Shroud did not contain contaminants; it came from retting or from blood (p.196). Contrary claims were never tested chemically (p.196)! Page 202 tells of the difficulties in creating a picture. The Emperor Constantine outlawed crucifixion in the fourth century (p.204). Artistic depictions are medically incorrect, but not the Shroud. The thousand experiments they performed were published by the Canadian Society of Forensic Sciences. An experiment with a glass table simulated the image (p.208). Scourge marks were only visible in UV light (p.210). The STURP team did not find anything to question the authenticity of the Shroud, or the Gospel accounts. How did the images get on the cloth? They just did not know (p.218). Was it the authentic burial shroud of Jesus of Nazareth? There is no scientific test for that (p.219). Page 220 sums up the results. Of the thousands of other shrouds known, none have any image of any kind. The preponderance of scientific test overrules any contrary claims, such as the claim it was painted on. This book lacks an index.
Excellent writing, science, bad theology.......2004-01-25
The whole subject of the Shroud of Turin is one peculiarly Christian. Of the world's great religions, Christianity alone strives to justify its claims by resorting to non-religious means. In this case, we are faced with an old cloth, the so-called Shroud of Turin which purportedly carries the image of Jesus (seen only through X-ray). The story of the scientific team, how it formed, its purpose and various members was well-written. The internal battles, disagreements and give and take were well documented.
But the meat of the book was the plethora of scientific tests run to determine both composition of the cloth and substances trapped in its strands, particularly those checking for the absence or presence of blood or items from that part of the world. (The blood expert, Walter McCrone, subsequently written an article, expanded to a book, claiming that the substance was not blood but vermillion.)
The team effort was both laudatory and admirable although some of its findings were later contradicted by a carbon-dating of circa 1300 A.D. (exactly the date claimed by many skeptics). The author, though religious, is at all times scrupously fair and neutral, open-minded and patient. It is not the final judgement that is questionable - someone was crucified and it cannot be determined how the marks were made. It is applying such claims to Gospels that were written as fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy and not as historical events. It is becoming increasingly clear that Jesus thought of himself first and foremost as a Jew.
The fact that the central claim in the New Testament (Jesus would return soon) never materialized forced revisions of Mark to account for this failure. This casts a shadow over the stories contained, in particular the Passion stories in which the events were so contradictory. Maybe the real answer to the Shroud of Turin is that we will never know and belief in Jesus as the savior of the world will always be a matter of faith.
