To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
McLaughlin, Professor of History, Univer- sity of Chicago.
WHEN the war broke out in 1914 everyone in America was astonished and ahnost everyone was quite unable to understand the fundamental causes of it. Many of us were more than astonished; we were thor- oughly out of patience and without immediate and deep sympathies for either side in the struggle. America had lived in isolation. Though our Government had been to some extent drawn into the swirl of world politics, we had no deep-laid schem...e for exploitation of inferior races, no colonial ambitions, no determination to force our prod- ucts on other nations and no fear of neighboring govern- ments. We did not know that we were being jealously watched and that spies recorded our temper and our frailties.
We did not see that we had anj^thing to do with a European war. Of the ever-vexed Balkans we knew little or nothing, though we had heard of the "sick man of Europe," who seemed to be an unconscionable time in shuffling off this mortal coil.
