What reading level is The Life And Times of Cavour book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He wished to break up the political tradition which had prevailed in Europe since Waterloo. He dreamed of wiping out the disaster of the First Napoleon's Moscow campaign by humbling Russia. In the depth of his singularly undemonstrative nature he exulted at persuading England — who had destroyed the First Empire at Waterloo — to join him now in checking the Muscovite. As the ally of Queen Victoria, the personification of British propriety, Louis Napoleon — whose enemies called him a poUtical ad...venturer, an unscrupulous massacrer, a libertine, a perjiu-er, a deceitful intriguer — seemed to receive a certificate of respectability which might atone for the Czar's slight. France herself had no important motive, whether commercial or political, for saving Abdul or for smiting Nicholas. OflBcial England, on the other hand, had accepted the doctrine that the Czar must not possess Constantinople, because if he did, British interests in the Med- iterranean would be damaged, and, moreover, any increase in Russia's strength might endanger England's possessions in Asia.
