What reading level is Soldiers of Fortune in Camp & Court book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There was a proscription of the foreigners. Munich, Ostermann, and three others of scarcely less note were sentenced to the axe or the wheel, and only reprieved on the scaffold after a grim burlesque that might have been fatal to men of weaker nerve. Honours were showered on the Russian Revolutionists. Not content with what had been done, the Preobrajenski regiment of guards, who had been in the forefront of the plot and to whom Elizabeth had made special promises, clamoured for the massacre of... all the strangers. Foreigners of all nations were hunted in the streets, and even one of Lacy's aides-de-camp was so mis- handled that he nearly died of his wounds.
When the war with Sweden recommenced in spring, Keith had his own experience of the troubles. The rioters in St. Petersburg had sent agents to the army, where the regiments of the guards set the example of mutiny. Borrow in his " Bible in Spain " tells how Quesada, single-handed — followed only by two orderlies — quelled a tumult in Madrid.
