What reading level is England And Russia in Asia book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
That host with all its necessary equipments Russia would have to transport through hundreds of miles of what is, to a large extent, a trackless waste. Through most of it there are no other roads than camel paths. An army of the size I have supposed would therefore require, according to the estimate of military experts, a transport service of about 400, 000 camels, 300, 000 horses, and 1, 500, 000 camp followers. And what should we be doing in the meantime ? We should be doing two things. "We sh...ould be making preparations to meet the attack on a scale commensurate with the occasion and with our vast resources, and our agents would be busy stirring up disaffection in the rear of the invaders and hampering their communications over an extent of roadless territory so vast as to be incapable of being effectively guarded. *' Considering the difficulties and dangers Russia had to encounter in invading so puny a Power as Khiva, it is easy to estimate the risks she would have to face in a march to India.
