What reading level is Nelson book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
What is of more im- portance, as marking the genius of the man who now worked out to a successful issue a design which had only been proposed by his very able predecessors, is the fact, which French writers have systematically lost sight of, that throughout the century, and especially during the war of American Independence, French naval com- manders had, by their persistent practice, shown their belief that a fleet moored in line of battle, with its extremities protected by batteries on shore,... was virtually unassailable. Later French writers have repeatedly VI TACTICAL EXPOSITION 117 accused their adpairal, Brueys, of fatuous ineptitude for lying with, his fleet in an exposed roadstead, contrary to the directions of Bonaparte, and knowing that a superior English fleet was in the neighbourhood. As to which last, it does not appear that either Brueys or Bonaparte had any knowledge whatever of an English fleet being within the Mediterranean ; and even if Brueys had known of it, he might very well be excused for believing that it was not superior; the conduct of the English fleet under Hotham had not been such as to convince the southern Frenchmen of their inferiority.
