Dr. Ghoulem Berrah was born in Aïn Beïda in 1938, during Algeria's French colonial period. Growing up, he witnessed the erosion of his culture through an education system designed to disconnect learners from their heritage. Initially, his dream was to become a famous acrobatic rider in his hometown, but destiny had other plans for him. Instead, he gained fame by advocating for independence, self-governance, and a united world, embarking on a challenging journey with many obstacles.

His memoir, "A Dream For Peace," covers his childhood, studies in France and the United States, his fight for liberation, and his role as a personal assistant to President Félix Houphouët-Boigny of Côte d’Ivoire. The book masterfully portrays Dr. Berrah as a seasoned diplomat, world changer, and talented storyteller. His writing skills truly shine throughout the memoir, showcasing his prowess as a wordsmith.

In the book, Dr. Berrah humbly shadows President Houphouët-Boigny, focusing on the leader's achievements rather than himself. This trait captivates the reader and demonstrates the strong bond of trust between the two. Despite facing challenges, Dr. Berrah's hope in the youth and his work toward a unified world serve as a foundation for achieving his dreams.

The memoir concludes with a clarion call for unity and love in the family, emphasizing that achieving a unified world requires addressing these fundamental aspects. The book earns a glowing rating of five out of five stars and is particularly appealing to those interested in diplomacy and global unity. While some readers might have preferred a more balanced view of the president, the overall impact of Dr. Berrah's vision and work on world peace leaves a profound impression.

"A Dream for Peace" by Dr. Ghoulem Berrah is exceptionally edited, and I didn't find any reason to dislike the book. There are also no typographical errors or sexual content.
