What reading level is Arms And the Race the Foundations of Army Reform book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They had all been taught the same general principles; they applied similar solutions to similar problems; and roughly succeeded more or less well in keeping the armies in mo- tion, getting them together on the field of battle, and feeding up the firing lines as rapidly and insistently as possible. None of these things could be done with the French army.
78 ARMS AND THE RACE Again, in the German army, a new and very powerful artillery was used with boldness and some tactical skill, while the Fre...nch guns remained infe- rior at every point. The Germans pro- duced in von Moltke a good leader, where the French showed mostly in- capacity and lack of military education. In these things alone, differences were to be found sufficient to account for the disasters of the French army. Yet it does not follow from these things that the German army was anything like a perfect machine as it is so often repre- sented to have been. That was, in- deed, very far from being the case.
It was not unnatural that the over- powering successes of the German armies at Metz and Sedan should have created an impression of perfection and invincibility.
