What reading level is Discourses On War book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Will this delu- sion never cease? Will men never learn to reverence disinterested love? Shall the desolations and woes of ages bear their testimony in vain against the false glory which has so long dazzled the world? Shall Christ, shall moral perfection, shall the spirit of heaven, shall God manifest in his Son, be forever insulted by the worship paid to the spirit of savage hordes ? Shall the cross ostentatiously worn on the breast never come to the heart, a touching emblem and teacher of all-...suffering love ? I do not ask these questions in despair. Whilst we lament the limited triumphs of Christianity over false notions of honor, we see and ought to recognize its prog- ress. War is not now the only or chief path to glory. The greatest names are not now written in blood. The purest fame is the meed of genius, philosophy, philan- thropy, and piety, devoting themselves to the best inter- ests of humanity. The passion for military glory is no longer, as once, able of itself to precipitate nations into war.
