What reading level is Battle Studies book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They hadno reality. In an encounter at full speed, men and horses would becrushed, and neither men nor horses wished such an encounter. Thehands of the cavalrymen reined back, the instinct of men and horseswas to slacken, to stop, if the enemy himself did not stop, and tomake an about if he continued to advance. And if ever they met, theencounter was so weakened by the hands of the men, the rearing of thehorses, the swinging of heads, that it was a face to face stop. Someblows were exchanged wi...th the sword or the lance, but the equilibriumwas too unstable, mutual support too uncertain for real sword play. Man felt himself too isolated. The moral pressure was too strong. Although not deadly, the combat lasted but a second, precisely becauseman felt himself, saw himself, alone and surrounded. The first men, who believed themselves no longer supported, could no longer endureuneasiness: they wheeled about and the rest followed. Unless the enemyhad also turned, he then pursued at his pleasure until checked byother cavalry, which pursued him in turn.
