What reading level is Frederick the Great book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Linz and observe Vienna. From the north came down towards Prague the whole of the Saxon army, 21, 000 strong. The combined French- Bavarian-Saxon army was some 60, 000 strong, and crept slowly, as was the habit of the time, towards the doomed city with its garrison of 3, 000 under General Ogilvy. The concentration took place between the 19th and 21st of November, four weeks from the time of starting. The longest distance marched was about 250 miles, or at the rate of only nine miles per day.
It... is difficult to conceive worse strategy than this. Instead of striking at the enemy's capital, almost within grasp, the whole effort is concentrated upon capturing an unimportant town in Bohemia, which must have fallen afterwards. Munich, the capital of Bavaria, was left insufficiently protected, and a weak force remained at Linz and thereabouts, offering a tempting morsel for Khevenhiiller to swallow when he was strong enough.
About the same time as the French and Bavarians moved, Maria Theresa's husband, the Grand Duke Franz, marched with about 30, 000 men also for Prague, or at any rate to fight the enemy, picked up Neipperg at Frating on the 7th of November, and Lobkowitz at Neuhaus in Bohemia, so that he was at that time actually stronger than the allies.
