What reading level is The Kingdom of Afghanistan a Historical Sketch book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The determination to occupy the country until such time as the government of the Shah had been sufficiently established to be able to dispense with the presence of foreign troops, proved fatal to our own influence in Afghanistan ; and to the Shah himself. The situation is summed up in a few words by one who was competent to pronounce a verdict : — " A mock king, a civil administration hated because, under foreign dictation and dissonant from the feelings of the Afghans, an envoy, the real king ...ruling by the gleam of British bayonets, and thus enabled to impose his measures, however crude or unpalatable. A large army, raising by its consumption the price of provisions and preying on the resources of a very poor country. "^ As early as October 1839, the Khyberis, who had once been Shah Shuja's very good friends, were in rebellion on account of reductions of the subsidies which they received. In the following month, Lord Keane, with the troops returning to India, had to fight his way through the Pass.
