Review of A Dream For Peace
[Following is a volunteer review of "A Dream For Peace" by Dr. Ghoulem Berrah.]
5 out of 5 stars.
The book "A Dream for Peace" by Dr. Ghoulem Berrah is an extraordinary memoir that has been highly rated as a five-star masterpiece. Dr Berrah's life story is inspiring, beginning with his early days as a Freedom Fighter for Algerian independence and his academic pursuits in Bordeaux, France, where he faced persecution and imprisonment. The book's vivid narrative takes us through his escape to Pamplona, Spain, and his representation of the FLN in China, including a meeting with Chairman Mao Zedong. Dr. Berrah's life has been shaped by profound experiences and a relentless pursuit of justice, making his story gripping.
The American version of this memoir offers an in-depth exploration of Dr. Ghoulem Berrah's impactful contributions to the world of Biological Sciences during his tenure as a Fulbright Scholar at Indiana University. The book talks about how his groundbreaking research and intellectual prowess earned him a place in the prestigious American Men of Science list and how he became a permanent member of the New York Academy of Science.
As the narrative unfolds, we see Dr. Berrah's multidimensional talents emerge. The memoir talks about how he became a Yale School of Medicine lecturer and how his commitment to global peace led him to accept an offer from President Houphouët-Boigny of Côte d'Ivoire. Dr. Berrah's diplomatic skills were tested as he navigated the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and courageously initiated the first secret meeting between the Israeli Council for Israeli-Palestine Peace and the PLO under Chairman Arafat in 1976.
Overall, "A Dream for Peace" is a must-read book that offers a comprehensive account of Dr. Ghoulem Berrah's extraordinary life and his contributions to science and diplomacy. The reasons why I awarded this book a 5-star review are;
The book masterfully captures Dr. Berrah's tireless dedication to world peace, demonstrated when he delivers critical news to the Americans after President Siad Barre of Somalia takes the port of Berbera from the Russians. His diplomatic endeavours become a beacon of hope in the tumultuous landscape of international relations.
Amidst diplomatic intricacies, the memoir unfolds a captivating love story, revealing the author's role as a devout Muslim and interfaith leader. Dr. Berrah's journey takes readers on a spiritual pilgrimage through Mecca, the Vatican, and Jerusalem, showcasing the depth of his convictions and the universality of his message.
While "A Dream For Peace" by Dr. Ghoulem Berrah is an extraordinary memoir, a few aspects merit consideration. The narrative occasionally delves into intricate diplomatic details that may overwhelm some readers, requiring patience. Additionally, while fascinating, the chronicle of Dr. Berrah's love story may interrupt the flow for those primarily seeking political insights. However, these minor critiques do not significantly detract from the book's overall brilliance. Dr Berrah's captivating life story and his pivotal role in global diplomacy overshadow these nuances, ensuring that the negative aspects are eclipsed by the book's profound and inspirational narrative.
There isn't any mistake in the book, which makes its editing impeccable.
In summary, "A Dream For Peace" is an exceptional literary work that combines political intrigue, personal resilience, and a profound commitment to global harmony. Dr. Ghoulem Berrah's life story, with its bumps, twists, and turns, inspires all. This memoir is a compelling read for anyone seeking insight into the life of a remarkable individual whose legacy extends far beyond the pages of this extraordinary book.
