Review of A Dream For Peace
[Following is a volunteer review of "A Dream For Peace" by Dr. Ghoulem Berrah.]
A Dream For Peace is an autobiography written by Dr. Ghoulem Berrah. Here he narrated all the events that happened in his life. The book is written from the author's point of view and divided into several chapters that contain the major key points of the author's life. The author's writing style is so soothing that I never got bored reading. He's like narrating his story to his grandchildren, which makes me feel very comfortable reading it. Apart from this, the book is captivating to read because the author has an amazing life story.
The book started with the inequality and discrimination that the author had experienced in his own country. He also narrated how he became a scientist and later became an advisor in Côte d'Ivoire. He also shared some minor details about his diplomatic missions and some of his insights into political issues happening globally. Along with this, he concluded his life in the medical field, where he volunteered in the most rural and remote places during his exile. There, he met a lot of people with whom he had a great relationship. He also narrated his love life and how he failed miserably and got divorced twice until he met the love of his life. Almost half of the book is dedicated to his wife; he shared the details of their vacation together, the conflict between him and his wife's family, and the years that they've spent time together.
My favorite chapter would be Chapter Fourteen, entitled The Diplomacy of Smiles. He narrated some of the laughs he shared with other politicians and his friends. I find this quite amusing because, as we all know, being a politician is quite physically and mentally demanding. I find it healing that there are still moments where these kinds of people still smile and chuckle despite their challenging tasks.
There are no inappropriate scenes or profanities inside the book. I also didn't find any errors while reading this book, and I consider it professionally well edited. I applaud the author for putting a reference at the bottom of the pages for the confusing terms or words in different languages, people, or organizations that readers might not be familiar with. He also clipped some of the documents, such as letters and research papers, including photos of different events to support and complement every chapter.
This book is amazing to read. It made me reflect on my life, the relationships I had with people, and the things I learned from them. The author met a lot of people who taught him great things, and I learned some of them as well while reading this book. This also enlightened me about the events that happened when the Africans were seeking their independence as a whole. With the personal lessons and righteous actions of the author and the other characters, especially how they promote the power of conversation despite the mutiny, I did learn a lot while reading this book.
There's nothing that I disliked about the book. And no one will get offended in any way because the author promotes equality among religions, beliefs, and all people. Some of his opinions may not be agreeable to many, but his opinions inside this book aren't written in a degrading or offensive way. An example of this is his side in the mutiny of two opposing countries and some commentary about certain issues. With the things I stated above, I would rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.
