What reading level is The Confessions of Frederick the Great, And the Life of Frederick the Great book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Discipline itself must be subordinate to such circumstances, it could not be so good if it was always equal.
When I commenced war my troops recognized Frederick the Great 79 me, and most of my soldiers loved me, because I paid them, fed them and entertained them well.
At the same time, I was severe, and expected my orders to be executed with the utmost rigour; I passed nothing, especially when they were under arms.
After two campaigns I changed this severity for pleasantness. I had nothing but ...deserters for recruiting my army. I could neither pay them nor feed them nor maintain them well. I was obliged to pay them in debased money. It was my beUef that I ought to attach them to myself by some means at some point. I tried to inspire them with an air of jollity, and relaxed my hand on marauding: I pretended not to mind when they took the roof off a house to make their fires, and I spared no effort to make them think well of themselves; I shut my eyes to many small negli- gences in their service; I only punished them lightly.
