A Dream For Peace is a celebration of the life of Dr. Ghoulem Berrah. His storied life began in a little village known as Aïn Beïda. At the time, Algeria was a French colony, and that meant that there was segregation between the native people and the settlers. The author remembered the tension that existed between the two groups of people. But he also had fond memories of his childhood. Like any young child during that time, he spent his days frolicking in the sun. He also had fond memories of his father, Hamadi Berrah, who was a jeweller. He married his mother, Lalla Zabida, and they had six children. Not all of their children would grow into teenagers. Some of them perished when they were very young. This part of the book serves as an introduction to what would become an incredible life, and it seems like he captured every moment in this beautiful book.

This memoir is a positive reflection on the author and his life. It portrays him as a seeker of peace and a lover of people. He was a man raised in the Muslim faith, and he was a great ambassador for his religion. He was also a great ambassador for his country. Although there were moments of rebellion he showed in his young adult life, he grew up to be an upstanding member of the human race. He was part of incredible moments in history, and these are the moments I enjoyed the most.

I also loved how open about his private life he was. Although the main focus of this book is about his public life as a politician, he also shares about his romantic life. I think that his personal life was most illuminating. This is where I got to see his flaws, which I highly appreciate.

This is pretty much a flawless book. Well, it is as flawless as a book can be. There's absolutely nothing I can fault about it. I loved it all. I loved the different sections of the author's life. I loved the writing style. The book was also edited flawlessly. I rate it 5 out of 5 stars.

This is one of those books that I'm going to recommend to my friends and family. I think that it's best suited for people who see value in reading about the real lives of others. I think that people who enjoy biographies will love this one. It's written simply but effectively.
