What reading level is A Peace to End All Peace book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Its long coastlines could be controlled easily by the Royal Navy. Two of its principal lords, Hussein in the west and Ibn Saud in the center and east, were British protégés supported by substantial regular subsidies from the British government. As of 1919 no rival European powers sought to intrude themselves into Arabian political affairs. The field had been left clear for Britain.
Yet the First World War was barely over before the Cabinet in London was forced to recognize that its policy in Ara...bia was in disarray. Its allies—Hussein, King of the Hejaz, and Ibn Saud, lord of Nejd—were at daggers drawn. Hussein complained that he was obliged to spend 12,000 pounds a month out of his British subsidy to defend against attacks from Ibn Saud, who himself received 5,000 pounds a month in subsidies.1 The British representative who relayed Hussein’s complaint characterized Britain’s financing of both Ibn Saud and Hussein—when they were fighting one another—as absurd.2 So was the bitter dispute that broke out within the British government over what to do about it—which paralyzed the process of making a decision, so that none was made.
