What reading level is The Campaign of Marengo, With Comments book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Cyr, in his march across the hills and mountains from Friburg to St. Blazien, and thence to Stuhlingen, flanked and protected the reserve in its march from Bale to Schaff hausen, yet he was obliged to send his artil- lery by the river road. Had he, therefore, been attacked in force during this movement, he would have been compelled to fight without his artillery.
Thus the fighting power of his corps would have been diminished ; and his efforts would have been directed towards the protection of ...his cannon, which, under ordinary circumstances, should have strengthened, instead of weakened, him.
In commenting on these operations of Moreau, General Hamley says: — " The false attacks of Ste. Suzanne and St. Cyr had the effect not only of detaining Kienmayer's sixteen thousand men in the defiles, but of causing Kray to move thither six or seven thousand additional troops. But they had no influence in detaining Starray, who was already so dis- tant on the right that it would be impossible for him in any case to join Kray in time for the first operations.
