What reading level is The Roots of a World Commonwealth book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Indeed there is possibly more individual sacrifice in Germany for the father- 17 18 The Roots of a World- Commonwealth land than in England. The temper of a certain obe- dience is more strong there than anywhere on our side. It amounts to a dociHty which is even fatal, fatal to national dignity, self-respect, or freedom, fatal even to the care to be free. So that we are driven to ask if such sacrifice or obedience per se is really a moral power. Can it carry a world's civilisation? It is im- pr...essive, but does it renew its own strength ? It has a great aesthetic value, and it calls out a chorus of poetry; but is it ethical, does it make necessarily for the last and greatest ends of society? Has it the stay- ing power of moral kingship and its righteousness?
The truth is that neither sacrifice, martyrdom, nor obedience has in itself moral value. These features may rise to a kind of sanctity round a very defective moral core. You can be as devoted in sacrifice to an evil power as to a good.
