What reading level is The Achievement of France book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Each army has its own methods of fighting, and no foreign Staff quite comprehends them till it sees them in practice. The French, for example, are accustomed to hold their trenches lightly and to trust much to their field-guns. That wonderful weapon, the Solxante-quinze, can fire on an enemy as near as 40 yards to the 68 FRANCE AND BRITAIN 69 trenches on its own side. Hence, when the Germans attacked, the French often did not stick to their front trenches ; they let the Germans take them and th...en cleared them out with their artillery —a very good plan, but one which at first embarrassed us a little if we hap- pened to be on their flank. Now that we know their ways we have a great admiration for them. It is not difficult for allies in the field to understand the ways and achievements of each other, but it is more difficult and at the same time more important for the people at large on both sides to come to a proper mutual appreciation.
Quite naturally our eyes have been turned to the doings of the British troops, and some of us have drifted into the notion that we are bearing the heavy end in the West.
