What reading level is Recollections of the Irish War book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Even those who had most stoutly slood for them now were heard to say that this thing had gone far enough. Freedom was all very well, but a people had to live. On Friday no old-age pensions were available; and loud was the outcry. Padraic Pearse's faith might well have been tested if he had heard the denunciations that arose, and included the names of the historic heroes of Irish Insurrection when those names were invoked to justify the present deed. The nation that was to arise in wonder like a... phoenix from the ashes of sacrifice was, just then, when he was being driven by flames and machine-guns to surrender, 149 RECOLLECTIONS OF THE IRISH WAR energetically thinking of imports of foreign flour and of weekly pensions from the British post-office.
Then on the Monday came news that Padraic Pearse had surrendered, and that the commandant under him were accepting the order, though reluctantly. At once the mood of the people began to make a slow change, such a change as he had foreseen. The first week's strain was released by news that told of defeat, an ancient tale in Ireland, full of old honour.
