What reading level is The World in the Crucible; An Account of the Origins & Conduct of the Great War book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is not perfect; the doctrine of the destruction of a nation's entire resources, not only material but Intellectual, shocks civilized Ideals; but the denunciation of dishonest ruses; the emphatic assertion of the Inviolability of the persons and property of private Individuals; the condemnation of the principles of ransom; the lofty A HIGH MORAL PLANE 327 appeals to chivalry, Christianity and honour — these indicate a very notable advance in civilization.
Truly, thought those who read, we wer...e coming to a golden military age, when war would be con- ducted in a kind of vacuum, injuring only those en- gaged in it and passing non-combatants by. These hopeful expectations were confounded when Ger- many violated the neutrality of Luxemburg and Bel- gium; for that neutrality was not only guaranteed by solemn treaty upheld over three-quarters of a cen- tury, but was sanctified by The Hague Conference and by the German General Staff itself. Thoughtful men, when they saw these articles of international law disregarded, may have had some qualms of doubt whether the others would be observed; if so they were lulled into tranquillity by the conviction that though Germany might disregard a political obliga- tion, she would certainly not disregard obligations of chivalry, honour, and Christian morality.
