What reading level is History of the World War book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On the same day that Louvain was occupied the advance guards of Biilow appeared before Namur, which was defended by a weak division of Belgians, who, four days later, were to receive as a reinforcement two battalions of French troops. These arrived just in time to retire, thus doing precisely what Winston ChurchilPs British detachments were to do in the case of Antwerp, less than two months later.
Namur, like Antwerp and Liege, was defended by a circle of detached forts, which were, however, in... much worse condition than those of either of the other fortress towns. Against these forts the Germans now brought up the heavy artillery which had demolished the forts of Liege.
The bombardment began on August 21st, the day after Brussels fell; by the next day most of the forts were in ruins. The following day the situation was hopeless and almost all the forts had been silenced. Ac- cordingly the garrison, some 12,000 Belgians, together with the French who had come so tardily, slipped out, just avoiding envelopment, and retreated south.
