What reading level is The Russian Army From Within book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Many were the sage confabulations held in tiny hamlets and in village councils, or in the " trakters " (tea-houses), on the theme of this race so deadly to Holy Russia. Some of the wise- acres, to air their superior knowledge, gravely alleged that the little men were skilled in magical arts and witchcraft ; others averred that the Japanese were monkeys, not men at all, and that they fought with the help of a dragon which breathed forth fire and flame, killing all who came near with its deadly e...manations. The officers, JAPANESE WAR AND ITS LESSONS 81 who knew everything, had a magic word, which they had only to repeat a few times for the dragon to lose his powers and expire. Such were some of the stories spread round the villages by the credu- lous peasants, who later on paid a terrible price for their ignorance.
The officers in that war learnt the salutary lesson never to despise an opponent. On the outbreak of hostilities, they not only made light of their diminutive enemies, but boasted to General Koorapatkine, their commander-in-chief, that they had only to throw up their caps and the Japanese would instantly take to flight.
