To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The pomp, the glory and tragedy of war do not, however, environ every event- ful and critical period in a nation's history. Liberty and justice may survive or perish amidst the scenes of peace as well as those of war. Eternal vigilance to maintain a nation's institutions is quite as important and necessary as martial valor in establish- ing them upon firm foundations. It may seem at times that the over- throw of some particularly vicious manifes- tation of evil threatening the national life mar...ks the ultimate victory. This is not true. The conflict never ends. It is going on now. We are in 15 the ranks and shadowy hosts and forces are contending all about us. On one side or the other of these bloodless battles all of us must be. We are either supinely submitting to, or courageously combatting, insidious assaults upon our national life. Armageddon is a present fight which will be waged until the end of this world and then will culminate. Athens and Greece won the glories of Salamis and Marathon and perished miserably and enslaved be- cause Hellenism no longer meant vigilance, patriotism and righteousness.
