What reading level is More Thoughts On the War book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A reaction of pity comes to him after cruelty, and he suffers remorse because he has enjoyed out- rage. But the German soldier is taught by his false doctrine to harden himself against pity as against fear ; and so strong is his discipline that he will weep over his own brutalities and yet continue them while he weeps. So a soft-hearted inquisitor may have wept over the torture and reproached himself for his weakness while he did so.
But we must not tell ourselves that the Germans are not human.... They are men as we are, and a few decades of false doctrine have made them capable of these crimes the false doctrine that sets an instinct upon the throne of the spirit. The moral of it all is, therefore, that we must keep a sharp watch upon our own doctrines and test them all by asking whether they aim at freedom ON FALSE DOCTRINE 31 of the spirit or at the predominance of some one instinct over all the rest. Above all, we must accept no doctrine because we think that it is for the good of the nation, or of a class, or of any body of us, to accept it.
