What reading level is The Life And Services of Brevet Brigadier General Andrew Jonathan Alexander Uni book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Celerity was the highest duty of the hour, except fighting, for Sherman was thundering upon his heels, and yet Sherman had divided his Army, and now, if ever, was Hood's chance to fall upon and defeat him ; but he proved himself unequal to his opportunities, and having failed to capture Sherman's sup- plies, or to materially injure his line of communication with 68 ANDRE W JON A THAN ALEXANDER.
the North by rail, he swung off to the west by the way of Gaylesville to Gunter's Landing on the Tenn...essee River.
About the time the 1 7th Corps left Atlanta to take part in the pursuit of Hood, General Ransom fell sick, and was obliged to ride in an ambulance and leave the entire conduct and con- trol of the Corps to Alexander. He continued on the march as far as Rome, but could go no farther, and shortly after his arrival at that place, died, much lamented by all who knew him, as an able and courageous General, rapidly rising into promi- nence. As a matter of custom, so long as he remained with the troops, no one could properly raise any question as to his right to command, and the practical direction of details was therefore necessarily left to Alexander, as Chief of Staff and Adjutant-General, but when the General could no longer per- form his duty and could go no farther, it was by law the right and duty of the next in rank to assume command.
