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

The blistering sun was already scorching his back and shoulders through his thin tunic. The yellow-brown rocks danced and shimmered. Above them, no more than twenty yards away, peered the brutal faces of the savage Danakils. It was no nightmare, but reality. This was Abyssinia, and an end to their mad venture before they had been two hours over the frontier of the country. A swarm of the fuzzy-haired warriors were already looting the wrecked plane.
“Speak to them!” Valerie’s voice came low-pitch
...ed and urgent at his side. “Speak to them and tell them we’re not Italians.”
He shook his head helplessly. Even if he could have said in the dialect of the tribe: “We are neutrals on our way to Addis Ababa to stop war—not to make it,” he doubted if it would have made the least difference.
These barbarous Danakils were killers of unprotected travellers in normal times, as even then the Emperor’s writ was so much waste paper more than fifty miles from his capital. He had to collect his taxes by a series of armed forays each year, and the townships of his so-called Ethiopian Empire, which was six times the size of Abyssinia proper, were only kept in subjection by garrisons of Amhara soldiery.
