What reading level is The Rise of Rail-Power in War And Conquest, 1833-1914, With a Bibliography book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the direction of the eastern frontier the line from Ver- dun to Metz was completed, and by 1899 the three routes which could alone be made use of in 1870-71 had been in- creased to ten. Most of them were provided with double- track throughout, and all of them were independent of one another, though having inter-communication by means of cross lines.
174 THE RISE OF RAIL-POWER.
Other new railways established connection with or be- tween the forts on both the eastern and the northern fron- tie...rs. Others, again, provided direct communication between different harbours or between each of them and strategical points in the interior, thus contributing to the possibilities of their defence in case of attack from the sea.
Still others were designed for the defence of the French Alps.
Apart from the provision of all these new lines, much was done in the doubling or even the quadrupling of existing track wherever the question of military transport came into consideration at all. Then at railv/ay stations near to arsenals, and at important strategical centres, speciall}' long platforms were provided to allow of the rapid entrain- ing of men or material in case of need.
