What reading level is The Personnel of Sea Coast Defense book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
An immediate and radical reorganization of this arm of the Service is the only measure by which its baneful influence can be destroyed and permit a thorough recuperation not only of its indi- vidual members but of the Service as a whole. No foreign service possesses a body of officers so unspotted in honor and integrity in general, so capable in intellectual and scien- tific ability, or so single-minded in devotion to their profession as those who grace the rolls of the artillery of the U. S. A...rmy. Perfectly competent to master every requirement of the modern system of sea-coast defense, they ask only the means and the op- portunity. They cannot make bricks without straw. They have a professional right to demand a knowledge of the guns they are to fight, the works they are to defend, and the harbors they are to protect. My opinion of their qualifications is based upon an in- timate personal acquaintance, of nearly twenty-five years duration, with a majority of the officers of all grades of the artillery, and is supplemented and confirmed by the general reputation, which the army honestly and frankly contributes with regard to them.
