What reading level is An Indiscreet Chronicle From the Pacific book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The British Foreign Office, guided in most of its China policy by mercantile considerations, relied very greatly on what it was told by British interests with China connections. These interests were almost en- tirely ignorant of — and incapable of understanding — the fundamental changes in the country. They per- sisted in believing, as so many believed for years in the case of Russia, that the revolution was entirely on the surface; and that whilst in such a flagrant case as Shantung, their own... interests as well as Chinese interests demanded a reconsideration of the Paris de- cision, it was by no means necessary to scrap the idea that China was first and last a trade-area inhabited by individuals to be measured solely by their purchas- ing-power and to be guaranteed against the creation FROM THE PACIFIC 95 of political enclaves merely because that would mean a restriction of the import and export market. The dangers arising from a persistence in the Anglo- Japanese Treaty were therefore looked upon as being not military but mercantile; unaccustomed to the study of politics, the vision of merchants did not ex- tend beyond the entrepots of trade which their enter- prise had created along the China Coast.
