Peace or atomic war? It is a book that reflects the political and social tensions resulting from the spread of nuclear weapons and their devastating tests. Albert Schweitzer addresses the ethical dimensions of this issue, warning of the potentially catastrophic consequences of the great powers continuing to develop atomic weapons without regard to the harm to humanity. Through statistics and studies, Schweitzer shows the extent of the devastation suffered by humanity and urges the need to stop this tragedy. The book is considered a strong humanitarian invitation to reflect on the future of humanity and to rethink the philosophy of peace.
