What reading level is Across the Pond book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
“Won‟t cha tell Saint Peter.”
“I‟m comin‟, too.”
“I‟m comin‟, too.”
33 Chapter IX The marines of Hue had no way of knowing the enemy Tet offensive of 1968 would be the turning point of the war in Vietnam. The Americans would win the battle, but the Vietcong and the North Vietnamese Army (NVA) would claim a psychological victory. It was the beginning of the end of the war.
Vietnam was not a popular war. If it had been like the participation in World War II, Hue would still be a popular name. The... marines who fought there and survived would now be heroes. Young Americans who died there would be remembered. Instead, the marines who fought in Vietnam returned to a nation that had turned its back on them. The United States would be unable to separate the war from the warrior. America would disgrace itself by scapegoating the very young men it had sent to fight. The sacrifices made and the hardships endured by those who faced the brutal month-long house-to-house fighting would go unnoticed next to the headlines about returning veterans going off and shooting up the town.
