What reading level is Under the Ensign of the Rising Sun book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Marching upon the southern gate, a party offour engineers was sent forward to blow in the massive barrier, whichwas protected by steel plates and bands, secured by heavy steel bolts, and loopholed for musketry. The devoted quartette succeeded in placingtheir blasting charges and igniting the fuses under a heavy fire, notonly from the loopholed gate, but also from the walls, but in so doingthey were so severely wounded that after they had lighted the fuses theywere unable to effect their escape,... and received further severe injurieswhen the explosion occurred and the gate was blown off its hinges. Thenthe waiting 1st Division, straining like eager hounds held in leash, rushed forward through the thick, acrid smoke, with levelled bayonets, yelling "Banzai Nippon!" as they ran; and as they charged impetuously inthrough the south gate, the enemy went streaming as impetuously outthrough the west gate, about half a mile away.
Kinchau was now in the hands of the Japanese; but this was notsufficient for them, they must needs pursue the flying Russians; andthey did so with such furious impetuosity that they literally drove theminto the sea--that is to say, into the waters of Kinchau Bay, where theluckless Russians, to the number of five hundred, were either shot downor drowned, almost to a man, only ten of them surviving and being takenprisoners.
