A Dream for Peace by Dr. Ghoulem Berrah is a book that provides valuable historical context, elucidating the complexities of French colonialism and its impact on Algerian society, as well as the long struggle for peace in countries all over the world. Despite the many intriguing aspects of this book, it offers a compelling narrative that intertwines personal memoir with historical insight and serves as a poignant testament to resilience, familial bonds, and the enduring quest for peace in a tumultuous era.

This book chronicles Dr. Ghoulem Berrah's early life, beginning with his birth in Aïn Beïda, Algeria, during French colonial rule. He describes the serene yet politically charged atmosphere of his hometown, highlighting the influence of tribal affiliations and the challenges faced by indigenous Algerians. The narrative further explores themes of identity, discrimination, and the pursuit of education amid social and political turmoil. This book also delves into the author's diplomatic journey and reflections on key global challenges, with a particular emphasis on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the independence of some African countries, peacekeeping movements, and more.

A Dream for Peace by Dr. Ghoulem Berrah served as an eye-opener and source of information for me on global issues that I had never known about. The author's portrayal of Algerian customs and traditions in the beginning pages of this book rings true, providing readers with a genuine glimpse into the rich tapestry of North African culture. The author intellectually sheds light on the importance of cultural solidarity and collective resistance in the face of oppression, as well as the need to maintain peace in our society. The emotional depth of the narrative and the sense of tension and suspense helped to keep me engaged throughout the chapter.

I found two minor errors in this book that had no effect on my reading experience. To a very large extent, this book was well edited, and I commend the editors for their effort. The organization of this book was amazing. However, I think the font size used for most of the letters in this book was small and needed to be increased. The inclusion of pictures, documents, references, and more added authenticity to the facts and contents of this book.

This book was amazing, and all the time I spent on it was worth it. I will rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. I recommend this book to all lovers of history and nonfiction books.
