What reading level is A Review of the History of Infantry book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Instead of playing into his hands by fighting battles in the open field, they chose strong positions and fortified them. Their artillery was more numerous than his, was better served, and had a longer range. As he afterwards wrote from bitter ex- perience : " The attack of a well-defended position is a tough job : you may easily be repulsed and beaten. It will at all events cost you some 15, 000 or 20, 000 men, which makes a cruel breach in an army. Recruits, sup- posing you can get enough of... them, will make up the number, but not the quality, of the soldiers you have lost. Your country becomes depopulated in renewing your army ; your troops deteriorate ; and if the war is a long one, you find yourself at the head of peasants, ill-drilled and ill-dis- ciplined, with whom you hardly dare to face the enemy. " i The two first battles of 1757— Prague (May 6) and Kolin (June 18)^cost him nearly one-third of the 100, 000 men which he had brought into Bohemia. In each case he found the Austrians strongly posted, and marched along their front to turn their right.
