What reading level is The Long Green Shore book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When the war ended, and the snakeskin drums sounded the word through the mountains, they were within sight of the deathly valley of the Sepik.
This campaign from Aitape to Wewak was an unnecessary one. The Japanese army in the area was isolated from the rest of the Pacific. They occupied no strategically important ground: they showed no aggressive intent.
This campaign was war in its classic wastefulness. It was fought for no apparent reason, other than that Australia might claim another Divisio...n in action; and, perhaps, strengthen her voice with their bodies at the Peace table.
To that end, a few hundred men died.
I know it is not such a great number in the millions of the dead—but it is bitter that they might have died in a better cause.
The Long Green Shore is not, strictly, the story of this campaign. But I have chosen it as the framework because here the battle itself has no importance other than individual life and death, and this allows a sharper drawing of men’s awareness of life and death.
