What reading level is A History of China book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Mongol ruler fled on horseback withhis immediate entourage into the north of China, and soon after intoMongolia. The Mongol dynasty had been brought down, almost withoutresistance. The Mongols in the isolated garrisons marched northwardwherever they could. A few surrendered to the Chinese and were used insouthern China as professional soldiers, though they were alwaysregarded with suspicion. The only serious resistance offered came fromthe regions in which other Chinese popular leaders had ...establishedthemselves, especially the remote provinces in the west and south-west, which had a different social structure and had been relatively littleaffected by the Mongol regime.
Thus the collapse of the Mongols came for the following reasons: (1)They had not succeeded in maintaining their armed strength or that oftheir allies during the period of peace that followed Kublai's conquest. The Mongol soldiers had become effeminate through their life of idlenessin the towns. (2) The attempt to rule the empire through Mongols orother aliens, and to exclude the Chinese gentry entirely from theadministration, failed through insufficient knowledge of the sources ofrevenue and through the abuses due to the favoured treatment of aliens.
