What reading level is The First Phase of the Great War book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Of their crews, numbering about 1, 200 officers and men, only about 300 were rescued, wounded and unwounded. Some of the wounded died while on their way to England. The total British casualties amounted to 69 killed and wounded.
Compared to our great naval actions, the battle off Hehgo- land was a small affair, and once the big battle-cruisers came into action, the German fighting power was so outweighted that it was hopeless for the enemy to continue the engagement. But even before this decisi...ve crisis of the fight, the perfect disciphne and accurate gunnery of our men had given them the upper hand. Thus the affair might be taken as a pre- cedent of what was likely to happen if the German and British battle fleets met even with equal numbers of the enemy's side. It must have impressed upon Von Tirpitz and Von Ingenohl the utter hopelessness of challenging Admiral Jellicoe to battle in the open sea.
After the battle off Hehgoland the German flotillas became more cautious, and for a long time gave us no further chance of closing with them.
