What reading level is A History of the Japanese People book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

When (1439) Mochiuji perished, the only member of his familythat survived was his five-year-old son, Shigeuji. This child placedhimself under the protection of Muromachi. It will be remembered thatUesugi Norizane, lamenting his unwilling share in Mochiuji'sdestruction, had entered religion. His son, Noritada, was thenappointed to act as manager (shitsuji) to Shigeuji, his colleaguebeing Uesugi Akifusa (Ogigayatsu Uesugi). But the Yuki family, whohad given shelter to two sons of Mochiuji, object...ed to bow theirheads to the Uesugi, and persuaded Shigeuji to have Noritada killed. Therefore, the partisans of the murdered man placed themselves underthe banner of his brother, Fusaaki, and having received a commissionfrom Muromachi as well as a powerful contingent of troops underImagawa Noritada, they marched in great force against Kamakura fromKotsuke, Kazusa, and Echigo.
Kamakurawas well-nigh reduced to ruins, but Shigeuji retired to thefortress of Koga in Shimosa, and his cause against the Uesugi wasespoused by the eight families of Chiba, Koyama, Satomi, Satake, Oda, Yuki, Utsunomiya, and Nasu, thenceforth known as the "eight generals"of the Kwanto.
