Review of A Dream For Peace
[Following is a volunteer review of "A Dream For Peace" by Dr. Ghoulem Berrah.]
A Dream For Peace by Dr. Ghoulem Berrah is a non-fiction book that tells the story of a man who seeks freedom and peace for his nation. Dr. Ghoulem Berrah was born when France had extensive restrictions on and control over Algeria. His birthplace was in Aïn Beïda in Constantine, Algeria. When his father passed away, he was still quite young. He was also the only son and was raised by his mother. He soon had no choice but to join the freedom movement to ensure Algeria's independence due to the injustices the country had to deal with and France's steadfast efforts to eradicate Algerian culture and history. During his stay in Bordeaux, Dr. Berrah joined forces with his fellow African students from Morocco, Tunisia, Vietnam, Madagascar, and Algeria to fight against discrimination and racism under the banner of the “Association of North African Muslim Students” (AEMNA). He pursued his education until he received his medical degree. Additionally, the author also mentions that he was the first scientist to propose a theory regarding “reverse transcriptase enzymes.”
I liked how thorough this book is. This book was more enjoyable to read because every location, person, and event were meticulously described. The writing had a great flow and a distinct style. It was arranged chronologically, which resulted in a very engaging plot. Additionally, the presence of images helps readers visualize the scene. I liked the illustrations used in the book to further his arguments and narrative. A wide range of topics, including politics, science, religion, effective parenting, and marriage, are covered in the book. I also respected Dr. Ghoulem Berrah for always keeping his eye on the prize of world peace. He held fast to his conviction that peace was possible even when the deck was stacked against him. He upheld these principles throughout his prison sentence.
There was nothing about the book that I didn't like; it was well-written and fantastic to read. Even though the book was too long, that did not stop me from reading. I liked his writing style and the relatable way he used words and expressions to convey his emotions and thoughts. I appreciated that he included footnotes after each chapter of the book.
Not only that, but I appreciated the way the author laid out this book; he went into more depth in each chapter. Likewise, I enjoyed the book because it was thought-provoking and motivating. Readers will learn about and be exposed to the historical cultures of some African countries, particularly Algeria and Morocco, in this book. There were no grammatical errors or mistakes in it; therefore, it was professionally edited. As a result, I am rating this book 4 out of 4 stars.
I would recommend this book to individuals who want to learn more about colonialism.
