What reading level is "1812" Napoleon I in Russia, With An Introduction By R. Whiteing book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Accepting the conclusion that hostilities are unavoid- able, we must make every preparation, not only for. with- standing the first shock, but for prolonging the war as much as possible. Experience tells us that this is the only method by which we can hope for success against Napoleon ; and it also tells us that he has always been embarrassed and led into mistakes of strategy when he has met with pro- longed resistance. This is the course which our Govern- ment should adopt, in this difficult... and critical situation.
It is the only course that offers any hope of final triumph over the world's oppressor.
" The proper way to conduct this war, in my opinion, is to avoid a general engagement and to conform as far as 84 NAPOLEON I IN RUSSIA possible to the guerilla tactics adopted against the French troops in Spain, so as to gradually demoralize them, and reduce by starvation the enormous forces they will bring against us." The advice given by Marshal Bernadotte, who was at that time King of Sweden, is also interesting : — " In the position in which Russia stands towards France, it is to her advantage to prolong the war, because it is in her power to do so, but not in Napoleon's.
