What reading level is The Poison War book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This occupation, however, he soon abandoned in favour of the mysteries of science. In 1877 he surprised the world with his " non-poisonous colour " inventions.
At the age of 33, in the year 1881, he carried out sensational discoveries touching explosives. From his famous laboratory, at Charonne, he subsequently evolved " panclastite " (a very dangerous explosive made from nitiric peroxide), also " melinite " from picric acid. Having parted with the result of his arduous labour to the French Min...istry of War, he found himself accused of complicity in the subsequent sale of one of his secrets to an English company. Stoically he bore the accusation, and eventually his innocence was established. The great inventor, a victim of political intrigue, had no sooner THE TURPIN EXPLOSIVES 97 emerged from this trying ordeal, than he was sentenced to five years' imprisonment for having, it was alleged, divulged State secrets in his historic announcement, " Comment on a vendu la melinite. " It was characteristic of Turpin that his heroic fortitude never forsook him, and without cessation, he proceeded to subject the French Ministry to a bombardment of accusa- tions, resulting in his final pardon in 1893.
