What reading level is Meetings in No Man's Land: Christmas 1914 And Fraternisation in the Great War book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But the debate about the war has continued for more than eighty years. More extensively, indeed, than for the Second World War, which still has secrets to yield. On the eve of this later war, not everyone in our Western democracies was in agreement as to the principal enemy; was it Germany or was it Communism? It took many long months for all doubts to be settled on the legitimacy of the struggle against Nazism. The First World War presented no such difficulty: as it began, everyone thought they... knew why they were fighting; by the end, opinion held that the war had been meaningless, that it was ‘absurd’.
So it was that, fifty years later, in 1996, at Verdun, veteran French and German combatants shook each other by the hand after a moment’s hesitation – and then embraced each other, full of emotion, enemy brothers from a tragedy rare in history . . . Fifty years after the end of the Second World War, did we see Nazis and Jews, Poles as well as Russians and Germans embrace each other in memory of very different nightmares?
