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. The author was raised in An Beda, a small village in Algeria, at a time when the country had been colonized by France. He despised his professors teaching French history but "nothing about our Algerian past," despite knowing acutely aware of the second-class status granted to native Colonists. He encountered other Muslim students coping with persecution when studying medicine in France. Together founded the Association of North African Muslim Students in the 1950s, one of the many anti-colonial organizations in which he became active. Berrah took a Health ministry job in Missour, a military conflict Moroccan village, and received accolades from his colleagues and superiors.
He made a scientific discovery concerning the regulation of DNA synthesis at the University of Indiana later in his career; he accepted a chair at Yale School of Medicine in 1963 and also was elected to the New York Academy of Sciences in 1966. In 1965, he accepted a position as an adviser to the Foreign Ministry of Côte d'Ivoire, where he eventually became President Félix Houphout-closest Boigny's advisor. He interacted with world leaders during his career, including various US presidents, Charles De Gaulle, Fidel Castro, and Golda Meir. Berrah's commitment to diplomacy is reflected in the memoir's thorough, objective style. He offers a story that exemplifies his inventiveness in that field.
Learning more about the efforts of a religious man who has always desired peace and tolerance was intriguing to me. Because the book is so good, it describes occurrences that take place behind closed doors. That was my favorite aspect about it. Fidel Castro, for example, was slated to deliver a speech that would put him in a precarious position.
For any negative points, I did not find anything that demotivates me or made me want to stop reading. This novel is a perfect symbol of peace and struggle. It is life-changing book of wisdom and encouragement. If the length of the book allows for temptations like extensive descriptions, rambling asides, and taking the average, the book is chronologically arranged and easy to follow. Berrah's socially astute narration occasionally focuses on the larger world rather than Berrah himself. The book's pace lags because it is so meticulous in its reporting. Rhetorical anecdotes add nothing to the conversation and ultimately nowhere.
Hence, to put together from above points, I would like to rate this book a 4 out of 4 stars given that it is exceptionally well-edited.There are no errors. I would recommend to those who are searching for encouragement and want some inspiration from other’s life.
