What reading level is Lord Kitchener book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Now too much of the eulogy on a man like Kitchener tended topraise him not as a sword but as a poker. He happened to rise into hisfirst fame at a time when much of the English Press and governingclass was still entirely duped by Germany, and to some extent judgedeverything by a Bismarckian test of blood and iron. It tended toneglect the very real disadvantages, even in practical life, which lieupon the man of blood and iron, as compared with the man of blood andbone. It is one grave disadvantag...e, for instance, that if a man madeof iron were to break his bones, they would not heal. In other words, the Prussian Empire, with all its perfections and efficiencies, hasone notable defect--that it is a dead thing. It does not draw its lifefrom any primary human religion or poetry; it does not grow again fromwithin. And being a dead thing, it suffers also from having no nervesto give warning or reaction; it reads no danger signals; it has nopremonitions; about its own spiritual doom its sentinels are deaf andall its spies are blind.
