What reading level is Elements of Military Art And Science Or Course of Instruction in Strategy for book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There are instances, it is true, where disorganized and frantic masses, animated by patriotic enthusiasm, have gained the most brilliant victories. Here, however, ex- traordinary circumstances supplied the place of order, and produced an equilibrium between forces that otherwise would have been very unequal ; but in almost every in- stance of this kind, the loss of the undisciplined army has been unnecessarily great, human life being substituted for skill and order. But victory, even with such ...a drawback, cannot often attend the banners of newly raised and disor- derly forces. If the captain and crew of a steamship knew nothing of navigation, and had never been at sea, and the engineer was totally unacquainted with his profession, could we expect the ship to cross the Atlantic in safety, and reach her destined port ? Would we trust our lives and the honor of our country to their care 1 Would we not say to them, " First make yourselves acquainted with the principles of your profession, the use of the compass, and the means of determining whether you direct your course upon a ledge of rocks or into a safe harbor ?" War is not, as some seem to suppose, a mere game of chance.
