What reading level is Freedom book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
From this divergence between the honour of the individual and the honour of the State arises the present apparent incompatibility of their needs and the almost farcical character of Governments all over the world. The individual is more civilised than the State, and this is perhaps one reason why the State attempts to stupefy and brutalise the individual by a narrow and prejudiced education and the callous bullying that accompanies con- scription. As an illustration take the position of Viscoun...t Grey, who is in his private capacity a fair type of a nineteenth-century gentleman, but in acting for the State he is constrained to behave like an eighteenth-century duellist. He must go warily, lest he disturb the honour of foreigners in an equally delicate position, and if he is challenged he must fight not, however, with his sword, which is illegal, but with the lives of millions of his fellow-countrymen, which is legal. Those who govern have to think in two separate ways of every problem the State way and the simple human way and they are not expected to make any attempt to reconcile the two.
