What reading level is The Campaign of 1815: Quatre-Bras: Waterloo book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The position was surrounded, but not taken.
It was now three in the afternoon. The grand attack of the Emperor had completely failed; the feint on Hougoumont, changed into a real attack, had only led to disastrous results. The losses of the French had been already very great ; from Hougoumont to La Haye the ground was strewn with the carnage and the wrecks of a desperately contested battle. But Wellington also had cruelly suffered : hundreds of his best troops had fallen at Hougoumont; his fine...st cavalry had been almost destroyed ; Picton's infantry had been severely stricken ; the Dutch-Belgians of Bylandt had fled ; the weak points of the position had been discovered ; the Duke's left and left centre had been in grave peril. Had Napoleon at this conjuncture been able to attack with the corps of Lobau and the Imperial Guard, and with his superb and almost intact cavalry, he would probably have turned and forced this part of the allied line, if a decisive victory was already beyond his reach.
