"Will humanity survive the machinations of today's people, who often seem to act more like crazy apes than rational beings?" Albert Szent-Györgyi posed this question in 1970, when the Vietnam War was at the center of international attention, and we could hardly dream of the destruction of weapons of mass destruction or the rapprochement of world powers. The Nobel Prize-winning scientist wished for this, seeing it as humanity's only possible way out of a crisis threatening complete destruction. "The Crazy Ape," a peace manifesto articulated with crystal-clear logic, profound humanity, and concern, appears here in its entirety. The author intended it for the youth, as he saw in them the strength to repair the broken world, yet the timeless thoughts of this eternally young scientist speak to all who choose peace over destruction.
