What reading level is Napoleon Our Last Great Man book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
What, there- fore, must have been the impression upon the senses of the most consummate of mental organisations the modern world has ever known, who even in his calmest moments inspired others with awe — the enslaver of Europe, the trampler of thrones, the extirpator of dynasties, the king of kings, mastered by the fury of un- governable ire ? Here Napoleon's im- 75 NAPOLEON perious nature is revealed ; he could not brook opposition to his inflexible will ; his unintermitted triumphs over man w...ere mainly responsible for this aversion to any but his own views. This exhibition of wrath failed to intimidate the inexor- able Autocrat of the East or to ruffle his equanimity, and the utmost Bonaparte succeeded in exacting from him was a promise of his support against Austria in the event of his being attacked by that Power, and his recognition of Joseph Bonaparte as King of Spain. On his side, Napoleon unwillingly consented to lower the war indemnity upon Prussia to ^4, 800, 000, and allowed the Czar a free hand in Finland and the Danubian Pro- vinces, with the stipulation, however, that the integrity of Turkey should re- main intact, but, as a requital to Alexander for not acquiescing with his hostile designs against Austria, he contumaciously refused to withdraw his forces from the line of the Oder.
