What reading level is Lessons of the War book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
What that would involvethere is no need to expound--the Empire would be in peril of itsexistence. We may feel pretty sure that things will not come to such apass; that another week will show Sir George White well holding his ownand a part of the Army Corps preparing to move. Yet it would be prudentto guard against accidents by sending further troops to the Cape. Tenthousand men ordered now would be at Cape Town by the middle ofDecember; but every delay in ordering them will mean, in case theysh...ould in December be wanted, a period of suspense like that throughwhich we are now passing.
The moral of the present situation seems to me to be that we shouldscrutinise our political personages, noting which of them have betrayedtheir inability to see what was happening and to look ahead, bringingdown their figures in our minds to their natural size, and exaltingthose who have shown themselves equal to their tasks. The man in thestreet might do well to consider whether the great departments ofGovernment, such as the War Office and the Army, should for ever beentrusted to men who have not even a nodding acquaintance with thebusiness which their departments have to transact, the business calledWar.
