What reading level is We Die Alone: a Wwii Epic of Escape And Endurance book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
SNOWBLINDTHE NEXT summer, sombody passed that way and found the broken pieces of Jan's skis, among the massive blocks of melting snow which were all that was left of the avalanche. They were at the foot of the icefall of the unnamed glacier under the east face of Jaeggevarre. One can guess what he had done. He had started his final climb up the valley wall, but had traversed on to the icefall without knowing it.
When one can see a little distance, the snow on ice looks different from the snow on... rock; but if one can only see a yard or two one cannot tell what is underneath. The snow on the steep ice at that time of year would have been very unstable, ready to fall by itself within a week or two, and Jan's weight and the thrust of his skis were enough to start it. The scar of the avalanche stretched from top to bottom of the icefall. Jan himself must have fallen at least three hundred feet.To start an avalanche is apt to be fatal, but it did not kill Jan. Luck was extraordinarily kind to him again.
