What reading level is What the British Empire is Doing in the War book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The greatest damage that was then inflicted by belligerent nations upon one another was chiefly confined to the immediate effects of the operations of the armies in the field. Even there (if we leave aside the fabulous exaggera- tions of some of the old historians) the loss of life and the devastation of property were proportionately far less than at present.
Demands upon Resources But a comparison of the effects of war upon the non-combatants, upon the millions of people in the belligerent cou...ntries who are far removed from the sounds of battle, in that time and in this, presents a still greater difference. Never before were these nations in their mass subjected to such stupendous demands upon their resources. Terrific, under the new conditions of warfare, as is the brunt of battle, the actual burden of the main- tenance of war, measured in terms of equipment and supplies, is even more stupendous.
The British Empire, being at the commence- ment the least prepared in the military sense of all the Powers which have engaged in the war, had for IS DOING IN THE WAR 29 many months proportionately fewer men in actual battle than her Allies ; though at the present her field forces are second to none either in numbers or in armament.
