A Dream For Peace is a book that chronicles the life of Dr. Ghoulem Berrah. In the "small village of Aïn Beïda, in the Aurès Mountain region of the Constantine province of Algeria", Berrah was born. Berrah's mother Lalla Zebida, made sure he had the greatest education possible after his father Hamadi Berrah, passed away when Berrah was just a young child. Berrah attended school in Batna, Constantine, and afterward traveled abroad to Bordeaux, France, where he studied medicine. When Berrah was alive, he dealt with racism and other unpleasant obstacles in life. The detailed descriptions in Dr. Ghoulem Berrah's A Dream For Peace paint a thorough picture of his life, including both the good and the bad.

There are a positive number of things about this book. Through his excellent depiction, Dr. Ghoulem Berrah provides the reader with glimpses into the Algerian-African culture, including how marriages are done, how to address their spouse, and more. His writing is excellent in every way. The illustrations in this book encourage reading by inspiring readers' imaginative imaginations. I liked how the story developed, providing us with helpful insights into his life that had preceded crucial features of his life.

The author guides us through various regions and locations in Algeria and France while providing a brief description of each location and what it is famous for. This is another aspect of the book that I adore. Dr. Ghoulem Berrah still had the opportunity to express and experience love even though this book contains moments in which he battled for what is right and overcame obstacles in life. I identified a lot of themes in this novel, including tenacity, independence, and peace. Readers are likely to emulate Dr. Ghoulem Berrah's persistence in all facets and areas of his life. His accomplishments include starting an organization for citizens of northern Africa, later becoming an advisor, and eventually getting involved in politics.

Except for the length, there was nothing about the book that I disliked. But all of the information in the book was important to paint a vivid picture of the author's life, so it wasn't extraneous.

There were quite a few grammatical mistakes, but they had no bearing on the message intended to be passed across to readers. Therefore, I rate A Dream For Peace 4 out of 4 stars.

I recommend A Dream For Peace to fans of politics and historical fiction as well as anyone looking to be inspired by the author's excellent works because it includes political events and historical actions.

A valiant leader Dr. Ghoulem. This book brings hope despite the decaying political games we play. After reading this book I felt that there are still leaders who stand for the truth. Great review.
