What reading level is War As It is book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
So. But you who grieve so much over floun- ders, pigs and wretched nags will be thought dreadful radicals, almost " dangers to society, " if you venture a protest against stretching 10, 000, 20, 000, 30, 000 men dead and wounded upon the field. On the other hand, intoxicated by scenes of blood at the seat of war, one may become as demoralized as a war correspondent who wrote home to a Danish paper, saying : " I write this on the stomach of a dead Kroat, with ink made of gunpowder and blood. " I...nstead of deeming it a terrible charge against war, that it should make a man talk like a madman, people naturally found it " awfully interesting. " Yet it is evident that a correspondent can free himself from administering to this curio- sity and speculation, and even from headquar- ters ; and if he has so great a desire to keep an eye on the battle-field a firm loving eye, capable of seeing through the false glare he may expose the way in which art and poetry and newsvendors veil the infamous reality of war; their romantic phrases inducing even wives and mothers and daughters to sacrifice at its altar, without so much as admitting the thought that it is something that ought to be protested against.
