Review of A Dream For Peace
Posted: 05 Mar 2023, 16:10
[Following is a volunteer review of "A Dream For Peace" by Dr. Ghoulem Berrah.]
Many people have received honors in several African nations for their services to the struggle for freedom and independence. Dr. Ghoulem Berrah is one of them. The book A Dream for Peace by Dr. Ghoulem Berrah recounts the author's experiences fighting for Algeria.
Ghoulem, an Algerian liberation fighter, first attended medical school in France before relocating to Spain. He and Antoinette, his first wife, were imprisoned in Spain for political reasons. In Morocco, he joined a clandestine group and transported legionnaires into East Germany. Ghoulem's life was noteworthy in that he left his imprint wherever he went. Throughout his lifetime, he interacted with historical figures like Mao Zedong, Robert McNamara, Yasser Arafat, Golda Meir, John Paul I, and John F. Kennedy. The author also offered a theory on what Professor Howard Temin subsequently called the "Reverse Transcriptase Enzyme" in the US. Ghoulem was able to interact with several notable people in various nations. After traveling the globe, Ghoulem and Titi, his third wife, decided to settle in the US.
The book's 632-page length focuses on issues including racism, marriage, politics, education, and employment. There are seventeen chapters in the book, each with a subtitle. Beginning with his infancy, college years, and struggles while fighting for several nations, the author described his life. It was really motivating to read that Ghoulem circled the globe forty times in his biography. Before each chapter, the author added a summary note.
The book's use of images contributed to the story's realism. The three ladies that Ghoulem was having relationships with were visible to me. The book features images of Pope Paul VI, Saint Paul Church in Abidjan, and His Holiness Pope John Paul II.
When I had to search up some of the nations and famous individuals mentioned in this memoir, I found it to be both tough and educational. The author's concise descriptions of the locations he visited are another aspect of the book that I like. Even though I've never been to Algeria, I could easily explain it to someone. I did not find any grammatical errors thus the book was well edited. Nonetheless, extremely young readers could find it challenging to appreciate the book. My reading flow was hampered by the book's overuse of acronyms. Yet, there was not a solid justification for detracting from the book's proper grade. As a result, I give this book a score of 5 out of 5 stars
I would suggest this book to anyone who likes both politics and adventure. The book is appropriate for readers of all ages.
