What reading level is The Nemesis of Nations Studies in History book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When Alexander saw them, their height, although it had been reduced by Cyrus, Darius, and Xerxes, was in some places not less than 75 feet. Facts like these help us to understand why Alexander, as Strabo says, preferred Babylon because it far surpassed other cities in magnitude. In the age of her splendour she looked like a vast glimmering caravansary of the human race. Each of her walls was pierced by twenty-five brazen gates, so that in all there were a hundred, which opened into streets whic...h led direct to the quays. It was in accordance with the Babylonian love of science that the city was built with mathematical exactness. If we look at Oppert's map we shall see that the Euphrates formed the diagonal of the vast square. A bridge 1000 yards long and 30 feet broad spanned the river, and there was a tunnel underneath ; and we now know from the recently discovered code of law that there was a constant traffic in boats.
20. The concentration of a vast multitude within the limits of a single city has invariably presented the same moral problem.
