What reading level is Memoirs of the War of the French in Spain book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The English armies in S remained near a month at Salamanca and Villa Franca, uncertain of what they were to do : they could not advance in the face of the immense forces of the French, nor could they venture to retreat for fear of discouraging the people of Spain, and damping the national spirit which still ex- isted in spite of the greatest misfortunes.
There was a momentary misunderstand- ing between the Spaniards and English* which occasioned a want of union in their military operations. The... Spaniards, for- getting that the English were only auxili- aries in their quarrel, reproached them, first with the slowness of their marches, and soon after with remaining stationary. The English general, in his turn, accused the Spaniards of having constantly con- cealed from him their situation, and their defeats, and of jexaggerating their strength and ( 95 ) and means of resistance. He was deceived, like the leader of the French armies, in the Spanish character, and generally mis- took for imbecillity the enthusiastic belief and representations of a people without military resources, but strong in patriotism, and in their national character, and who are invincible, inasmuch as it is their own determination and spirit which exaggerate their means.
