What reading level is The League of Nations An Historical Argument book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Are we content that it should be inviolably consecrated to similar purposes for the future, or do we make the mental reservation that it is to be retained in our hands for our purposes, whether or no they coincide with the judgement of mankind ? Perhaps we cannot answer that question offhand. We shall certainly want to know what the purposes of mankind will be, as expressed in a League of Nations ; whatever individuals may be expected to do, we cannot as a people sign blank cheques ; and we can...not pledge our naval power to a League of Nations until we know what that League will be, or for what ends and to what extent the draft will be made on our credit.
Ill THE LESSON OF HISTORY So far we have been following two lines of argument which appear to lead in opposite directions. Firstly, it has been suggested that the underlying tendency of human affairs is all towards the unity of the world for better or for worse, for peace or for war, with a strong bias at the moment towards peace. Secondly, it has been argued that most, if not all, the schemes for a League of Nations under discussion are too ambitious, too complex, too doctrinaire to survive the practical difficulties which any attempt to give them effect would encounter.
