What reading level is The Rise of Nationality in the Balkans book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Unhappily, Dusan 's greatness died with him, and his loosely-knit dominions became the prey of warring feudal lords, and soon dissolved into their component parts. Only a generation later, on June 28th, 1389, Lazar, the last of the Serbian Tsars, and with him the Serbian Empire, perished in the great battle of Kosovo, the fatal Field of the Blackbirds, which lives in countless national ballads of equal beauty and originality, and keeps the memory of ancient glories aflame even to-day throughout... the entire peasantry, not merely of Serbia and Monte- negro, but also of kindred Croatia, Bosnia, and Dalmatia. The victorious Turkish Sultan, Murad I. , shared the fate of his rival Lazar, and was buried on the field of battle. But Serbia fell rapidly under Turkish vassalage, and in 1459 her conquest was completed by the redoubt- able Mohammed II.
Finally, in 1463, the Serb princes of Bosnia were also reduced to subjection ; their last despairing effort to secure Western aid by the adoption of Catholicism drove the population, Orthodox adherents of Byzantium and heretic Bogomil sectaries alike, to welcome the rule of Islam rather than that of the Roman Cardinal whom the dynasty were prepared to welcome.
