What reading level is Ireland's Fight for Freedom, Setting Forth the High Lights of Irish History book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In 1798, when the United Irishmen re- solved to strike without waiting longer for French aid, agents were in the very inner circle of the revolutionists. On the eve of the uprising the majority of the leaders were arrested, Dublin was placed under martial law, and the British, hitting hard at various points, prevented united action. In spite of everything the people rose, and from May throughout the summer Ireland rang with the noise of bitter fighting. In the north, how- ever, the battle of Ba...llynahinch proved a conclusive defeat, while in the south 20,000 Enghsh soldiers beat down the rebels in the final battle of Vinegar Hill.
In August a small French force landed in Mayo, but was forced to surrender, and some weeks later a French fleet, directed by Wolfe Tone, met the English in battle off Lough Swilly and lost the day. Tone, captured and condemned to death, despite his French uniform and rank as a French officer, was about to be saved by Curran's 92 TWO CENTURIES OF IRISH REBELLION legal skiU when the prison authorities an- nounced the news of his "suicide." Over 70,000 lives were lost in the rebellion and whole counties were laid waste, but the defeat of the rebels did not bring an end to violence, for English yeomanry and militia marched up and down the land with torch and sword and lash, ravaging and ravishing.
