What reading level is A Short History of Spain book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This strange, heteroge- neous mass of humanity, all nourished from Arabia, was held together by two things: the Koran and the sword.
When conquest was exchanged for peace- ful possession, all the internecine jealousies, the tribal feuds, and old hatreds burst forth, and the first fifty years of Moorish rule in Spain was a period of internal strife and dis- order — Arabs and Moors were jealously try- ing to undermine each other; while the Arabs themselves were torn by factions representing rival... clans in Damascus.
But a singular clemency was shown toward the conquered Spaniards. They were per- mitted to retain their own law and judges, and their own governors administered the affairs of the districts and collected the taxes. The rule of the conquering race bore upon the peo- ple actually less heavily than had the old Gothic rule. Jews and Christians alike were free to worship whom or what they pleased; but, at the same time, great benefits were be- stowed upon those who would accept the religion of the Prophet.
