What reading level is The Spirit of the Allied Nations book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Is the courage founded on such a faith likely to be less than that of the Mahomedan to whom the material joys of Paradise are assured when he falls for the Faith ? Recent histor}'^ has shown that it is not, and that the readiness to sacrifice life for the sake of Emperor and country is a national characteristic of the Japanese, not confined, as was supposed throughout the long centuries of feudalism, to one privileged and aristocratic class, but shared by them with the peasant, mechanic and tra...der, who were, until fifty years ago, serfs among their own people.
Buddhism was introduced to Japan from Korea in the sixth century of the Christian era, and before the lapse of another century, thanks largely to the liberality with which it recognised Shinto deities as Buddhist avatars, it had practically become the faith of the whole people. Throughout the next ten centuries statecraft, science, education, art, literature, thought and society were, if not absolutely controlled, largely modelled by Buddhist in- fluence, and that influence has left its abiding mark on the spirit of the nation.
