What reading level is The Battle of the Rivers book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The organ- isation of food supply is thrown out of gear. No man knows where the suppHes may be, or whether they may not be lost. Guns become separated from their ammunition columns. . Wagons break down or are disabled and have to be left behind. The horses drop from famine and overwork. Men grow sullen and intract- able. The boom of guns bespeaking the pursuit alone gives the stimulus to cover the lengthening miles of weary road.
Without time to bury their dead, yet anxious to hide their losses... from the enemy, the Ger- mans, where they could, formed large pyres of timber, which they soaked with oil. On to these they threw the bodies of the slain. Across the country the smoke from such pyramids by day and the glare of flames by night added to the strangeness and tragedy of a scene removed even from what had been thought civilised war.
The sufi"erings of the beaten host were severe. Starving and depressed, or at the last point of exhaustion, men fell out or hid themselves in the thick woods which clothe the long undulating slopes on the northern side of the Marne valley .^ Here they were found by the pursuing French * From the Oise to the Seine the g-eneral aspect of this part of France is a succession of broad ridges separated by valleys, some of them narrow and deep.
