What reading level is The Extinction of the Christian Churches in North Africa book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Indeed the numbers of the Vandals prevented any such scheme; Never a numerous people, when the conquest was over, they mustered barely fifty thousand able-bodied soldiers.
When they landed they had only eighty thousand males, and this included not only the Alani but old men, infants and slaves 1 ; nor did they reach even this nominal strength of eighty chiliarchies until they had intermarried with the Moors 8 . The utmost Gaiseric could hope to do was to make his people the dominant race in Afr...ica, and in order to effect this the Berbers' encroachments had to be restrained and the old inhabitants held in sub- jection. As long as the great conqueror lived the first difficulty was easily met ; the border tribes were forced or cajoled into alliance and it was only under his suc- cessors that the raids of the Moors gave any trouble.
The second danger was the greater. For the con- quered race were indispensable to their conquerors.
They tilled the soil and paid the taxes ; they introduced their masters to comforts as yet unknown to them; their habits of business made them even necessary for the carrying on of the administration.
