What reading level is Belgiums Agony book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They hope and are confident. They cannot conceive any law, divine or human, depriving them of what they have reaped and garnered, of the living they have amassed, lawfully and by their own toil, for their wives and children.
When the war began little groups of Uhlans began appearing in the villages. They would stop and ask a few questions and then go on somewhere else. At present they be- haved mildly enough. Well aware of the danger of ambushes, they were gentle and genial. They seemed to rega...rd the people almost as their friends. Fear bred in them excellent manners.
But later on, when whole regiments passed the way that hitherto only scattered Uhlans had trod, the true German arrogance made its terrible appearance. There was looting 60 THE VILLAGES OF FLANDERS and worse ; there was massacre. Conciliatory fear gave way to savagery. The world knows now how much blood must be shed, how many ruins must be piled one on another, before German anger can be assuaged.
And now that the fires have smouldered out, now that the little villages are once more left lonely, and those of their inhabitants who have escaped flame and sword are left there to exist as best they may, it is for us to think for a moment of the sinister silence of those abandoned lives, lingering on in the little towns and, more tragic still, lost in the depths of the countryside.
