What reading level is Franco German War of 1870 Source book book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The ditches are wet only on the south front, which lies low, and here, as in other parts of the fortifications, they have re- taining walls in good repair. The fortress may, therefore, be considerd as perfctly secure from assault, and an attack is not practicable without regular engineering preliminaries. However, the masonry is not everywhere sufficiently cov- ered, considering the present ranges of artillery, for a long resistance. Nor does the place possess suflficient bombproof casements fo...r the garrison and the provisions. Moreover —513— Siege Operations the spacious and extended works on the right bank of the Meuse are not such as to receive the numbers of troops nec- essary for counter-attacks on a large scale. This is a most essential point if a fortress is to be of use in modern warfare. The stock of provisions on hand was in no case sufficient to maintain even for a few days, the great masses of French troops who were compelled to fall back upon the fortress ; so that, immediately after the battle, it became necessary to have recourse, by agreement, to the resources of the neigh- boring fortress of Mezieres.
