What reading level is The War And the Spirit of Youth book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
One can only move about in deep, narrow trenches, filled with mud and puddles of water separated by big stones, which give way under one's feet. A single shot may presage an at- tack. All night long I go the rounds, and when day comes I must oversee the trench-works, so that I haven't a moment to myself. I can hardly snatch a bit of sleep on damp straw, in a dug-out which I must enter on all fours. Nevertheless, our spirits are of the best. [38!
Young Soldiers of France 'I am in command of a pl...atoon that is, two sections my own and that of the adjutant, who has a shell-wound. The responsibility is considerable, but little by little one gets used to it. Only the reliefs are troublesome. You start off about midnight, follow through the black shadows of the pines a path filled with stones and slippery with sleet ; keep dead silence; fall down; get up again; lose your way; find it once more; and, having ultimately arrived at your destina- tion, station the sentries, send the men to bed, spot the trenches where the fighting is going on, in case of an attack; then finally fling yourself down on the straw, revolver close at hand that is what a relief is!' And yet listen to the joyous greeting which the young soldier sends forth from this abode of anguish and death.
