What reading level is The Greater War book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And the Swiss Confederation, too, 80 THE GREATER WAR is a modern approach to the democratic idea. But what we are accustomed to call the great democ- racies are democratic in no true or essential sense ; and it is only the sheerest illusion, an illusion pregnant with universal woe and confusion at that, to call these European and American states democratic.
VI '"THE mere fact of universal suffrage does not at all assure a democratic government. Eng- land has achieved, in the course of the centu...ries, a large measure of freedom. Yet England has ever been governed by a privileged or ruling class; which class, controlling the electoral and governmental machinery, has always had its way and imposed its will upon the people. France is a bureaucratic republic and far from being a democracy. The American republic has always been plutocratic in its political texture and pro- cedure, in its social mentality and morality. The constitution of the United States, so far from being an instrument to enable the peoples to govern themselves, was avowedly and success- fully devised (by Alexander Hamilton and those associated with him) with the idea of preventing such political self-government; of keeping the government in the hands of the great possessors.
