What reading level is The Assassins' Gate book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Republican Palace, protected by a high iron gate and sandbagged machine-gun positions, was a sprawling two-story office building done in the Babylonian-fascist style favored by Saddam, with Art Deco eagles spanning the doorways. Evenly spaced along the top of the facade were four identical twenty-foot gray busts of Saddam himself, staring straight ahead, his eyes framed by an imperial helmet. Beneath these Ozymandian tributes to the deposed leader, twelve hundred officials of the CPA went ab...out the business of running the country.
Getting in to see one of them, a senior adviser to Bremer acknowledged, was “like a jailbreak in reverse.” That was in the first months of the occupation, when it was still possible for my driver to clear security at the Assassins’ Gate after searches of the two of us and the car, navigate the barriers on the road down to the palace, obey the signs warning him not to drive too fast or too slow or under any circumstances to stop, then park in the big dirt lot full of gleaming white SUVs that bore no relation to the vehicular character of Baghdad.
