What reading level is A General Sketch of the European War volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And Army I. , has no choice either but to retire or be isolated. The whole line, therefore, retires, its offensive power is broken, and the Battle of the Marne is won.
Having thus set down the main principle of the central battle, called after the name of La Fere Champenoise, we will now turn to its fuller history. Before under- taking which, however, I must again re- peat that, while we have a clear grasp of what happened — that is, of how the 212 A GENERAL SKETCH OF victory was won — the deta...ils of the units, especially upon the enemy's side, their actual movements, the extent of their confusion, are all singularly obscure. No official sifting of documents and evi- dence has yet been given to the world. No one has yet been allowed to consult the notes, the examination of prisoners, the captured enemy documents, the mili- tary correspondence, etc. , on which alone could be based a clear account of the battle. No competent authority has yet dealt with it as General Bonnal, for in- stance, has dealt with the Battle of the Ourcq ; and even upon such elementary points as the names and numbers of the corps in Hausen's command, let alone their movements, there is still, after eighteen months, a tangle of conflicting statement.
