Review of A Dream For Peace
A beautiful and thrilling memoir about Dr. Ghoulem Berrah's fight for freedom in Algeria, Morocco, and the entire African continent, as well as for world peace. In his early childhood, he withnessed instances of his country's natives being treated as second class citizens by the French government. Since then, he has been determined to fight for the country's freedom regardless of the consequences, while also advocating for global peace. He is a political diplomat and scientist who contributed to Algeria's development and independence from the French government. This book goes into detail about his childhood, his arrest, his love interests, and how he eventually became a freedom fighter.
A dream for peace is written in the first person. It is mostly written in English, with some Frenh words thrown in for good measure. It is filled with pictures and certificates of his wife and all the people he has met in life. It's wonderful that pictures were included because it immersed me in the author's world and gave me a better understanding of the time period in which he lived. I admire his love for African people, as well as his courage, determination, and spirit in fighting for what is right. That was truly inspiring and influences the reader to not give up on what they believe in.
Dr. Ghoulem Berrah's ability to connect with people of all races, cultures, ethnic groups and religious beliefs is amazing. That is a very rare quality in a person, and the author carefully and clearly describes the relationships he has with everybody he ever met in his life. The book's historical accuracy is astonishing and it is both educational and informative. You can tell by reading how well Dr. Ghoulem Berrah knew about the other countries' histories. Especially the countries he has visited.
The only thing I disliked about the book was its length, which may not bother some readers who enjoy memoirs. Despite the book's length, I find it very enjoyable to read. I didn't come across any errors. This book has been meticulously edited.
It is well written and easy to follow. I rate it 5 out of 5 stars because of the useful lessons and information. It provides insight into how the world was in the past and how it is like today. I felt like I was being taught a long story by an elderly parent figure. It gave me many new perspectives on life.
This is recommended for those interested in political history and memoirs. I also recommend this book to students doing research on the colonial history of African countries because it will help them understand a lot of things. I do not recommend this book to those who find history and politics boring.
