What reading level is The Significance of the Great War; a Speech Before the Victorian Club of Boston, On 8th October, 1914 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
You — I wish I could say we — are waging a war whose driving force is righteousness, and any going back on that is now unthinkable. There can be no issue of this war except unconditional surrender of the enemy, and any man who talks at this time of peace on the basis of the status quo, or on any other basis except that of unconditional surrender, is guilty of treason against civilization.
And when, after a few weeks, or months, or years, or a generation if necessary, this end is achieved, there... will come a new condition of life so different to the last as to form almost a new dispensation. We have learned our lesson in blood and tears, and as I say, we cannot go back. Once more Christian morals will become operative in the affairs of estates and nations of men, with a new standard of comparative values, a new sense of honour that is also the old. In politics, in manufacture, in trade, in conduct of life, we shall find again our lost ideals, and though we can hope for no golden age — for men are always men and social evolution only a lie — we at least can look forward to a condition of things at least more consonant with our verbal pretensions, more worthy of comparison with the best that man has achieved in the past.
