What reading level is The Bloody White Baron book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
BARON UNGERN-STERNBERG, 1921 I imagine that he would like to be remembered riding through a horde of terrified revolutionary soldiers, scything them down with his sabre as bullets whizzed around him, passing through his cloak, but never so much as scraping him; the warrior-king of Mongolia, receiving reports, tribute and prisoners, like his hero Genghis Khan, in a hastily pitched campaign tent. My chief image of him, though, is less heroic; I picture him on the steps of a temple, hearing - and ...believing - that he has only a hundred and thirty days left to live, his mutilated face suddenly contorted by terror.
This book tells the story of Freiherr Roman Nikolai Maximilian von Ungern-Sternberg, the last khan of Mongolia, who in one short year rose from being a Russian nobleman to incarnate God of War and returned Khan. In Mongolia he was lauded as a hero, feared as a demon and, briefly, worshipped as a god.
I first stumbled upon his story in one of Peter Hopkirk’s brilliant accounts of central Asian espionage, Setting the East Ablaze.
