Three appeals Schweitzer broadcast over Radio Oslo in April 1958 against the testing of nuclear weapons and the danger of nuclear war, published in German and in English (New York: Henry Holt, 1958) the same year. They follow his first such appeal of 1957 and set out, for a general audience, the effects of radioactive fallout and the case for ending tests by agreement.
