What reading level is At the War book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The enemy shrap- nel, which churned the water into foam, failed to check their progress. Men wounded in the water insisted on being helped to gain the east- ern bank, saying, ''Then they'll not send us back. " By this time the bulk of the Austrian forces were in full retreat, but the rearguard offered a stiff resistance. The Italian guns skilfully cov- ered the advance, sweeping the approaches to the city and keeping down the enemy fire. The most pleasant surprise for the Italians was the compa...rative feebleness of the Austrian fire from Monte Santo, some distance north-east. Indeed, the question constantly arose. Where were the Austrian guns? Had they been hurriedly re- moved or knocked out by the Italian bombard- ment — or sent to Galicia or the Trentino? Be the explanation what it may, the fact remains that the unexpectedness of the Italian offensive took the Austrians at great disadvantage in re- gard to artillery, as in other respects. Had WITH THE ITALIANS 24. 1 Monte Santo been heavily held with big guns the Italian crossing of the Isonzo and the occu- pation of Gorizia would have been far more dif- ficult and costly than they actually were.
