What reading level is Recollections of An Officer of Napoleons Army book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

" " You'll see, when the Paris papers come. But the better to judge, let us write down on the spot, so as not to forget them, the brilliant results of the day. Here are the prisoners: let us count them; good! there are sixty-four, plus three bag- gage-wagons with twelve horses; plus a cannon and a caisson. " Two weeks after, the papers arrive. Mercy! what wonders we had done! when I say we, I mean General S . With unbelievable daring, with learned tactics, he had surrounded, attacked, NAPOLEON'...S ARMY 143 overthrown, taken, killed. Three hundred dead, a thousand wounded, two thousand prisoners, ten pieces of cannon, sixty baggage wagons, were the glorious results of his strategic science and noble courage. He had done all that alone; our regi- ment was not even mentioned.
In fact, if the general had said that with such a regiment, he had done such fine things, everyone would have considered it quite natural, and the honour would have been shared ; but in writing that " giving way to his natural impetuosity, with a small part of his advance guard, he had over- thrown the enemy, who necessarily owed their salvation only to the quickness of their legs, " the glory is his alone.
