What reading level is The Great Boer War book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A strong support (four hundred men) was leftat the base of the hill, and the others, one hundred Imperials, onehundred Borders and Carabineers, ten Sappers, crept upwards with MajorHenderson as guide. A Dutch outpost challenged, but was satisfied by aDutch-speaking Carabineer. Higher and higher the men crept, the silencebroken only by the occasional slip of a stone or the rustle of their ownbreathing. Most of them had left their boots below. Even in the darknessthey kept some formation, and the... right wing curved forward to outflankthe defence. Suddenly a Mauser crack and a spurt of flame--then anotherand another! 'Come on, boys! Fix bayonets!' yelled Karri Davies. Therewere no bayonets, but that was a detail. At the word the gunners wereoff, and there in the darkness in front of the storming party loomedthe enormous gun, gigantic in that uncertain light. Out with thehuge breech-block! Wrap the long lean muzzle round with a collar ofgun-cotton! Keep the guard upon the run until the work is done!Hunter stood by with a night light in his hand until the charge was inposition, and then, with a crash which brought both armies from theirtents, the huge tube reared up on its mountings and toppled backwardsinto the pit.
