The autobiography 'A Dream For Peace' details Dr. Ghoulem Berrah's life, covering the author's life and accomplishments in chronological order. I was particularly interested in reading this book due to the synopsis and Dr. Berrah's African ancestry. It provides a close-up view of the experiences of an activist, diplomat, and scientist. Dr. Berrah, an incredibly brilliant youngster, was loved by his mother and came from humble circumstances in Algeria. He was raised under the cover of French colonial control and faced their contempt for his country.

The author's story fills 565 pages of this book, showcasing his journey from a solid, modest background. While studying in France, his mother passed away, and his father worked as a jeweler. After being accepted to Columbia University, he had to leave behind his beloved Antoinette. Throughout his life, Berrah had meetings with numerous luminaries. He overcame many obstacles in his quest for change, yet he never lost sight of his goals. What kept Berrah's concentration? How did he overcome the obstacles he faced? Continue reading to learn more.

I appreciated how Berrah examined the political and cultural foundations of Africa and the connections between these elements in his early years and the present. This memoir makes the current African generation aware of their grandparents' fight for freedom; as a result, they should work to enhance the grandeur of their country rather than taking their forebears' achievements for granted and dashing their hopes.

There was not a single thing about this book to be unhappy about. The narrative was well-organized, and the author's descriptions were easy to read. I found no mistakes in this book, indicating that it has been professionally edited. It made me happy to learn that the writer was considered one of the legends of nations like Algeria, Morocco, Cote Devoir, and several other African nations.

I will rate this book 5 out of 5 stars since I adore it so much. Fans of non-fiction should read this book, particularly those curious to learn more about the history of certain African nations.

This review draws interest to the book. Learning that the author is also an important figure to many countries makes it even more appealing. How did he contribute to so many that he stood out among others? Great review.
