What reading level is How Germany Makes War book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Fortune smiles upon bold commanders before all others. They are the men who have filled the pages of the world's history with their proud achievements, and gave the laws to their time. They seem to enthral fortune by a powerful charm, and only succumb where with insolent conceit they try to trespass the limits of the possible. That this is so lies in the nature of things.
Of all psychical qualities boldness harmonizes most with the nature of war — that is, striving to attain the utmost. Its sup...eriority is due to the fact that bold- ness is one of the qualities rarest found in men, that an extraordinary strength of will and character is needed to keep it active under the pressure of responsibility and danger unavoidable in war, es- pecially for the commander. The effects of superior boldness come, therefore, always as a surprise. They find the adversary unprepared, and thereby not only establish a moral superiority, which soon will exercise a paralysing influence on every portion of the hostile army, but which will, moreover, turn into a gain of time and space that is of inestimable value in war ; for in every single case the time necessary for the counter-measures of the party surprised and the de- moralization it suffers benefit the bold assailant, which he can take advantage of both in space and in tactics.
