What reading level is George Washington As Commander in Chief book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In short, whether you expect an enemy or not, this should be practiced ; otherwise your attempts will be confused and awkward when necessary. Be plain and precise in your orders, and keep copies of them to refer to, that no mistakes may happen. Be easy and condescending in your deport- ment to your officers, but not too familiar, lest you subject yourself to a want of that respect, which is necessary to support a proper command. " Under Washington, the character of the army was constantly impro...ving. He patiently reconciled the prejudices and jealousies of the men of the vari- ous colonies, and was always trying to organize an American army. When in camp, all general and field officers dined with him every day at three; so the General kept in touch with his men, and they became comrades. He began this custom as soon as he took command at Cambridge. Wherever it was possible, he personally saw the officers whom he entrusted with important work. His success was largely due to his shrewdness in dealing with men and to his ability to select the right man for the place.
