What reading level is Boundaries in Europe And the Near East book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
ated from the nearest land boundary of Russia (defined by the Danube outlet) by about 600 miles of territory which belongs partly to Rumania, partly to Bulgaria, and partly to Turkey. The road would pass from the Danube at Galatz through Silistria and Rustschuk to Shumla and Adrianople. It is incredible that in times of peace such a route as this would be available for the constant passing to and fro of Russian troops. The command of Adrianople by Russia would be an eventuality which might poss...ibly be met if the Turk is evicted from Europe, but the difficulty of land communication does not disappear with that of Adrianople. There are still Rumania and Bulgaria blocking the way. Clearly, then, communication must be maintained by sea, and the occupation of Constantinople depends on the command of the Black Sea. From Odessa to the northern mouth of the Bosphorus is only 400 miles, which under ordinary conditions would not involve more than a day's run. Russia already holds between the Danube mouth and Trebizond more than half the Black Sea littoral and such important naval stations as Odessa, Sebastopol, and Batum.
