What reading level is The War Lords book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
No one who went through the South African War emerged from it unpurgcd of military arrogance — that arro- 271 The War Lords gance that is born in the classroom and dies on the battlefield.
The saying that South Africa is the grave of reputa- tions is older than the second Boer War, but it was that war which gave it the significance that attaches to it to-day. Buller's failure, though most conspicuous, was only typical of what happened in the early stages of the war, and in the later stages Lord... Roberts and Lord Kitchener, though more successful, cannot be said to have added to their reputations. There was, however, one exception to the depressing rule — one reputation which found in South Africa not a grave but a birthplace. Sir John French went into the war unknown to the world: he emerged from it with the most secure reputation as a fighting general in the British Army. This suggests no reflection on Lord Kitchener whose success has been that of the organiser of war rather than that of the general in the field.
