What reading level is A Short History of the Great World War book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A battalion of the Seaiorths was almost wiped out at Lagnicourt in covering the retirement of the famous 51st Division. The Great Retreat. As yet there was no break through the " battle zone," but the Fifth Army was outnumbered by three to ■one, and was in a very critical position. On the second day the ■enemy pushed on, column after column, in spite of heavy losses, and when one division was exhausted another came through to take its place. Twice they got across the Crozat Canal and twice were... driven back. The reserve divisions of the Fifth Army had already been flung into the battle and there were no reinforcements available. Roisel and Epehy had to be abandoned ; the third battle-zone was pierced and Gough had no alternative but to fall back on the Somme bridgehead. The Third Army held its own all •day, but the right had to retire towards evening to keep in touch. Fighting went on all night, and on the morning of the third day there was a gap of eight miles between the two armies at Mory.
