What reading level is The Appetite of Tyranny book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Certainly there can be no better summary of the savage than this, which as we have seen, unfits him for the duel. He is the man who cannot love — no, nor even hate — his neighbour as himself.
But this quality in Prussia does have one effect which has reference to the same ques- 46 THE APPETITE OF TYRANNY tion of the lower civilisations. It disposes once and for all at least of the civilising mission of Germany. Evidently the Ger- mans are the last people in the world to be trusted with the task.... They are as short- sighted morally as physically. What is their sophism of "necessity" but an inability to imagine to-niorrow morning^ What is their non-reciprocity but an inability to im- agine, not a god or devil, but merely another man? Are these to judge mankind? Men of two tribes in Africa not only know that they are all men, but can understand that they are all black men. In this they are quite seriously in advance of the intellectual Prussian; who cannot be got to see that we are all white men.
