What reading level is The Just Claims of Italy the Question of the Trentin of Trieste And of the Adr book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And this is the territory which the Hapsburgs claim as a hereditary possession! Why, then, have they so persistently clung to such a perpetual element of discord in their Empire? Is it for reasons of pride — the ob- stinacy of tyrants who will not yield to the unyielding! Yes, undoubtedly; but also and above all, for military reasons. The frontier of Italy was traced — here as else- where so that Austria might always be able, at will, to invade Lombardy and Venice.
''Whereas on the side of the ...Adige basin a frontier ex- tending up to the line of separation of the waterways would leave only three or four doors accessible to foreign invasion, the great Austrian triangle which penetrates to the heart of northern Italy, threatening at a distance of but twenty or thirty kilometers the Venetian and Lom- bard plains, opens upon Italy thirty doors, either by the great routes of commerce, or by narrower and less fre- quented passages. And these doors are those which give, in an offensive, all the advantage to Austria and none to us; because Austria in every valley holds (he highest and strongest positions, while ire have only the lowest parts, the most exposed, the most difficult to defend.
