What reading level is The Military Forces of the Republic book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The superficial critic thinks mounted men can be summoned and mustered in a few days, but old soldiers know that it takes years of train- ing to make a good cavalry corps. Every college boy takes a few lessons in the science of projectiles ; but the art of compounding powder for small arms and heavy guns, the best methods of rifling and loading, the form and weight of 6 shot, large and small — all those things are incessantly being studied and tested by the brightest men that can be called into... the service, in other nations. When war is made in these days, it is made quickly and with tremendous force.
To be behind the times in any of these things is to be almost defenseless for months and to be at a disadvantage for years, No boasting about American ingenuity and energy will prove it otherwise.
I make a distinction between the warlike spirit and the military spirit. The former might prevail largely and com- pletely dominate a people led away for the time by passion — by an unworthy motive, of whatever character ; but the military spirit may rightly prevail in a people controlled by the most peaceful purposes.
