What reading level is Battlefields of the World War, Western And Southern Fronts; a Study in Military Geography 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Briefly stated, these generaliza- tions might be formulated in some such terms as the following: The terrain should constitute a natural topographic barrier, impassable except at a few points, where the direction and nature of the enemy attack are restricted and known to the defenders. A lofty Alpine watershed, crossed by a limited number of narrow passes, is ideal in this respect.
Digitized by VjOOQIC 504 BATTLEFIELD OF THE TRENTINO In general the defensive front should be the shortest possibl...e strategic line (although not the shortest line tactically, as ex- plained below), in order to reduce to a minimum the forces re- quired to hold it. An exception to the above generalization occurs where a longer front forms a salient projecting into the enemy's territory and is so situated topographically as to be easily defended while at the same time offering good interior lines for use in offensive operations.
The defensive front should not, in detail, be a straight line, but should form a series of bastions and curtains, providing ample opportunity for flanking and enfilading fire.
