What reading level is The Decline And Fall of Napoleon book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Rumour, however, always greatly exaggerated his numbers and he took every care to do so himself by all possible methods. Indeed, his move- ments were so extremely rapid that he never gave the enemy time to ascertain his real strength for his practice always was to strike at once when he reached the hostile forces. An exaggerated notion of his numbers was therefore easily fostered. His audacity in striking with his little army at part of Schwarz- enberg's vast host of 120. 000 men was of itself ...suffi- cient to make his opponents believe that he was strong, for it was not thought he would venture upon such daring operations unless he had a powerful army behind him. Throughout this phase of the campaign he relied almost entirely upon his own skill in handling troops ; he looked to the terror of his name to keep him out of serious danger whilst he trusted greatly to his luck and to Schwarzenberg's bungling and cautious slowness for opportunities to pull the chestnuts from between the bars before the fire could touch them.
