What reading level is The Idea of a League of Nations book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It may be objected that codes of law have in fact been devised for the partial humanization of war, and that not until the present time has any civilized belligerent made a practice of disregarding them. But these so-called laws of war have always been conven- tions of mutual advantage — rules which all parties held it to be, on the whole, to their own interest to observe. The German War Book quite frankly places the chief sanction of such trammels on military action, not in humanity, but in th...e fear of reprisals.
We do not deny that man is an emotional being, and even in the midst of his fiercest fighting there are horrors from which the de- eent man, and even the decent multitude, instinctively recoils.
Decent men do not as a rule want to hurt their wounded prison- ers: they rather like to pet them; and they regard people who do otherwise as blackguards. And no doubt it is largely these emo- tional mercies and generosities which have brought about those rules of chivalry or scruples of religion which form the supposed * redeeming features' of war.
