What reading level is Hilaire Belloc book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Whatever name he maygive to this race, or however ethnologically he may justify hisconception of it, Mr. Belloc believes that it exists and that Rome firstdiscovered it and gave it expression.
Like all large and generalized conceptions, this idea of the Westernrace is best explained in a contrast, and Mr. Belloc finds a sharpexample of such a contrast in the struggle between Rome and Carthage. Hesets it out in _Esto Perpetua_: It [the Phoenician attempt] failed for two reasons: the first was th...e contrast between the Phoenician ideal and our own; the second was the solidarity of the Western blood.
The army which Hannibal led recognized the voice of a Carthaginian genius, but it was not Carthaginian. It was not levied, it was paid. Even those elements in it which were native to Carthage or her colonies must receive a wage, must be "volunteer"; and meanwhile the policy which directed the whole from the centre in Africa was a trading policy. Rome "interfered with business"; on this account alone the costly and unusual effort of removing her was made.
