What reading level is Defiant Spirits book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Late in the radiantly sunny afternoon of April 22, German soldiers seven kilometres north of Ypres released onto a northeast wind 168 tons of chlorine gas. Within minutes, the 3rd Canadian Brigade was reporting “a cloud of green vapour several hundred yards in length” approaching the French trenches to their left.1 The Battle of Gravenstafel Ridge—later known as the Second Battle of Ypres—had begun.
Over the next few hours, as French and Algerian troops died in the trenches or staggered away... in retreat, the Germans advanced four kilometres south into Allied territory. Late that evening, the 10th and 16th Canadian Battalions received orders to stop the Germans with a counterattack: they were to clear the enemy from an oak plantation called the Bois des cuisiniers and known to the English as Kitchener’s Wood. The plantation with its captured British battery was retaken after a heroic charge under moonlight and machine-gun fire, but at a cost of more than six hundred Canadian lives.2 Two days later, more horror and more heroism.
