What reading level is If the British Fleet Had Not Moved! book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Well, it would have meant that the Germans could, with slight risk, have transported troops to any point on the French coast. The value of superior sea power in amphibious warfare is the element of strategic surprise which it confers on its possessor. A German army might have been secretly concentrated at Hamburg or Emden on a Saturday, and early in the following week might have been landed on some portion of the French coast, taking the French Army in the rear or flank. The advantage of the Ge...rmans would have laid in the ignorance — unavoidable ignorance — of the French autho- rities of the spot chosen for disembarkation. The French Fleet would have been tied in the Mediterranean by the menace of Austria-Hungary ; and the German Navy would have had no difficulty, owing not to superior seamanship but to superior numbers, in seizing the command of the North Sea and English Channel. The sea in itself is no defence to a country like France, but a menace in the absence of naval protection, for armies can be moved in these circumstances more easily by water than by land.
