Dr. Ghoulem Berrah's autobiography, A Dream For Peace, details his life. Dr. Ghoulem Berrah, an Algerian who was the sole son in his family, was born in the Constantine area. Algeria was still being colonized by France during this period. Hamadi Berrah, his father, was a proud member of the Saighi clan. Dr. Ghoulem Berrah moved to France from Algeria to pursue his medical education. He fiercely campaigned for his nation's independence and worked to bring about peace between Israel and Palestine. In addition to working hard to advance Africa, Dr. Ghoulem Berrah became close friends with the President of the Ivory Coast. His married life and time as a professor at Yale University are also discussed in this book. Get this book if you want to discover more about the life of Dr. Ghoulem Berrah.

I found Dr. Ghoulem Berrah's memoir to be engrossing to read; it is an honor to read a well-known author's work and learn a lot from him. I found his character to be admirable; he is brave, devoted, determined, and consistent. His commitment to fighting for his nation's independence is inspiring; despite the difficulties he faced, he persisted in his course of action. The information and inspiration I have gained as a result of reading this book have educated me. I enjoyed the book's writing style because it was stress-free to read and comprehend. The author's ability to remember and provide a thorough explanation of historical events, even the most unimportant ones, is something else I adore about the book. Dr. Ghoulem Berrah's book A Dream For Peace is inspiring and informative, so I really liked reading it.

Nothing about this book bothers me, and I enjoyed reading it because it gave me life inspiration in many different areas. I agree with the author's position on matters of racism, faith, and world peace. By marrying a Jew, he also exemplifies how two religions may cohabit. I firmly believe that if the world follows Dr. Ghoulem Berrah's example of pursuing peace, it will be a better place to live.

While reading this book, I applauded the editor for not noticing any typographical or grammatical mistakes; therefore, I think the book is exceptionally well-edited. I will thus rate this book five out of five stars.

This book contains no violence, foul language, or sexually explicit material. I will thus recommend this book to everyone who enjoys political history and to anyone who is curious about diplomacy.

A dream for peace is a memoir about Dr Ghoulem Berrah, an activist and freedom fighter for Algeria. His sacrifice and selflessness created a better future for all algerians.

Dr. Berrah is a blessing to Africa and the world at large. I am happy that he was able to write this book before his death and hope Afruca get it right one day. Well done.

I commend Dr. Berrah for writing this book. His message of peace and religious tolerance is clear and should be adopted by all.

Though I don't know if Dr. Berrah would have been better off as a scientist, I still loved his character as a scientist, and I loved the fact that he attended to a greater calling by resigning as a professor and becoming a diplomat for peace. I also loved his zeal and courage as a freedom fighter.

In my opinion, the title of the book reflects the deepest emotion of the author. He stood for the right course despite trials and aspire for peace for his nation. It is a novel to indulge my private/leisure time reading.
