Franz Ferdinand would have gone from Sarajevo untouched had it not been for the actions of his staff, who by blunder after blunder contrived that his car should be slowed down and that he should be presented as a stationary target in front of Princip, the one conspirator of real and mature deliberation, who had finished his cup of coffee and was walking back through the streets, aghast at the failure of himself and his friends, which would expose the country to terrible punishment without having inflicted any loss on authority." (Rebecca West, Black Lamb and Grey Falcon: A Journey Through Yugoslavia. Viking, 1941)
Could anyone explain why this paragraph is hard to understand or shade some light on writing style? It is kind of frustrating to me after such study of grammar. also want a simple explanation of this paragraph, and give me some suggestion for understanding these kind of writing style.
Thanks.
