What reading level is The Ideals of France a Letter On the Great War book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Dec, 29. — I was interrupted the other day, and have not been able to continue before. I took advantage of the Christmas holidays to go and speak in the neighbouring villages and to admire the quiet courage of our country- side. It is as though the words "In your patience possess ye your souls " had been spoken for our people.
As to my feeling about your manifestation in favour of peace, you understand, do you not, that, as a belligerent, and a belligerent the more determined in that I was befo...re firmly pacific, I look upon it all with an eye very different from yours ? A Frenchman cannot now utter the word "peace. " To use it would be akin to treason. When a quarrel is for money, or for a strip of territory, one can make peace without moral loss. To make peace when an ideal is at stake is an abdication ; even to think of it is to be false to the voice which tells us that man is born for other things than to enjoy the moral and material heritage of his fathers.
NATURE OF THE STRUGGLE It is the honour of Belgium, France, and their Allies to have seen at once the spiritual nature of this war.
