What reading level is The Battle of Blenheim book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
PART IV THE SEVEN WEEKS—THE THREE PHASES From the day when the Duke had appeared upon the southern side of the mountains, and was debouching into the plains of the Danube, to the day when he broke the French line at Blenheim, is just over seven weeks; to be accurate, it is seven weeks and three days. It was on the last Sunday but one of the month of June that he passed the mountains; it was upon the second Wednesday of August that he won his great victory.
These seven weeks divide themselves int...o three clear phases.
The first is the march of Marlborough and Baden upon Donauwörth and the capture of that city, which was the gate of Bavaria.
The second is the consequent invasion and ravaging of Bavaria, the weakening of the Elector, and his proposal to capitulate; the consequent precipitate advance of Tallard to the aid of the Elector, and the corresponding secret march of Eugene to help Marlborough.
The third occupies the last few days only: it is concerned with the manœuvres immediately preceding the battle, and especially with the junction of Marlborough and Eugene, which made the victory possible.
