What reading level is The Problems And Lessons of the War book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The president of a great Peace Society told me he opposed the plan because he feared it would end the war too soon. I have puzzled much over how he supposed it could do it.
A second objection is that it is too early to begin any move for such a conference. As the manifesto already quoted says : It has been argued that it is not the time at present to start such a process of negotiation, and that no step should be taken until one or the other party has a victory, or at least until some new milit...ary balance is struck. The answer we bring is that every delay makes more difficult the begin- 17 258 Problems and Lessons of the War ning of negotiations, more nations become involved, and the situation becomes more complicated ; that when at times in the course of the war such a balance was struck, the neu- trals were unprepared to act. The opportunity passed. For the forces of peace to be unprepared when the hour comes is as irretrievable as for a military leader to be unready.
As the statement of the National Peace Federation remarks : Those who advocate the postponement of any action to- ward the application of those principles till the end of the war fail to realize that the terms of peace are being decided now in the secret bargains being made between one or the other belligerent side and the neutrals who are being urged to enter the conflict.
