What reading level is The Lost Fruits of Waterloo book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We are the only member of our group of allies that has a right to take the side of the weakest member of that group against the desire of the strongest. If any one member should in a moment of more or less pardonable forgetfulness of the common good advance claims that would be based on a desire to recoup herself for her sufferings, we best of all could demand equal treatment and see that the seed of future discord are not sown. These are prin- ciples that every American citizen should under- s...tand.
CHAPTER X OBSTACLES TO AN ENDURING PEACE By an enduring peace I mean a peace that shall last as long as we can see into the future.
It is such a peace as has in it, so far as we can see, no fact that would seem to make for its ruin. If we adopt a peace that has the seed of destruction in its very nature, we cannot hope for relief from the evils of war. We must, under such a condi- tion, take account of war as one of the permanent burdens of civilization, with the full consciousness that it will become increasingly expensive in life and property, and with the result that at re- curring periods an intelligent world will drop its peaceful tasks to try to reduce its population to a nullity.
