What reading level is The First Shot for Liberty book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I always had a number of shells beside my gun to be fired at a minute's notice.
Many nights we would wake up in our dug- out with shells dropping all about us. We would scramble out of our bunks, race half- clad to our gun pits and send a few over to the enemy just to show him that we were wide awake.
THE GAS ATTACK 171 One night I awakened with the feeling that I was being tossed about in the vortex of a Kansas cyclone. It was a trivial inci- dent; a shell had landed nearby and blown the top o...ff my dugout. I ran through the darkness with ^he rest of the crew to the "75, " and sent a couple of shells into No Man's Land. Then I went back to bed and slept like a top.
The next day a German deserter wandered into our dugout. I will tell you how it happened. Down in our front-line trench a doughboy observed a movement in the dead grass and weeds among the American wire entanglements. Tense with expectancy, the doughboy put a finger against the trigger of his rifle and waited.
The grass parted and a yellow dog just plain dog emerged, paused inquiringly, his forefoot lifted in graceful gesture.
