A Dream for Peace by Ghoulem Berrah is a memoir about the author's life journey as he joins his countrymen to fight for his country's independence. The book also speaks of the author's dream for international peace. The author aspires for a better, more tranquil world. He took on various positions in many nations to aid in the peaceful development of those nations. The author's involvement in those nations aided in their development into what they are now. The author assisted his native Algeria in attaining independence, freeing them from foreign rule and outside influence.

In order to obtain a medical degree, the author moved from Algeria to Bordeaux. Here, he met many new people from different countries. With a group of friends who shared his objectives to help Algeria achieve independence, Dr. Berrah founded an organization in this location. The difficult journey toward revolution and independence is the basis of this memoir. Dr. Berrah gained notoriety and even grew close to the president of Cote d'Ivoire as a result of his devotion and dedication. Also recognized were his scholarly endeavors. He was a scientist and a professor at Yale University. The memoir also discussed his challenging route to love and marriage. Find out more about Dr. Berrah's endeavors on A Dream for Peace.

I love how the author included photos in the book to help readers understand what he was writing about or which objects he was referring to. Students who are interested in learning about historical events can benefit from the book's important historical material. I also love that each of the book's seventeen chapters contains a new piece of information; no previously made points were reiterated. When he was about to explain something new, the author did a fantastic job of adding subheadings, which made it easier for me to understand the book quickly. Also, I can't help but applaud the author for talking about peace in Africa in his epilogue. I must admit that it fascinated me.

There were not many negative aspects to the book, but in some chapters, the author spoke extensively and pointlessly about a few subjects, which was a drawback. Additionally, the book was filled with a ton of new words and names that I had trouble remembering.
Apart from the few aspects of the book I disliked, this book was quite flawless. There were no grammatical errors due to exceptional editing, and the book was quite intriguing. I'm rating this book 5 out of 5 stars. People who are interested in African history should read this book, in my opinion. Students studying history will benefit from it as well. Aside from them, anyone else can read the book. It educates and inspires.
