Review of A Dream For Peace
[Following is a volunteer review of "A Dream For Peace" by Dr. Ghoulem Berrah.]
Dr. Ghoulem Berrah's A Dream for Peace is an inspiring nonfiction masterwork that captures the difficulties, resiliency, and hopes of a man who knew that freedom must be earned, not given. The book is an excellent story of Dr. Berrah's life. It tells about his struggles and triumphs and how he dared to pursue his dream of peace and freedom for his country, Algeria.
Dr. Berrah grew up in Algeria, so he saw firsthand how the French rule hurt the people there. He was resolved to alter the course of history and pave the route to autonomy for his people. As a result, he decided to study medicine, which led him down a road of introspection and political engagement.
The book follows the author as he travels from Algeria to France to attend medical school at the University of Bordeaux on a full scholarship. Despite his challenges as a medical student, Dr. Berrah was unwavering in his pursuit of independence. He organized fellow Algerians who shared his passion for freedom by establishing the North African Muslim Students Association.
Dr. Berrah traveled extensively in search of freedom, facing opposition, arrest, and humiliation, but he never gave up. His dedication to the freedom cause won him many admirers, including Côte d'Ivoire's President Houphout Boigny, who named him a special counselor and diplomatic advisor.
Dr. Berrah's optimistic outlook on world peace is one of the book's most positive aspects. Dr. Berrah was steadfast in his belief that religious tolerance is achievable despite differences in faith and culture sometimes serving as catalysts for violence and war. The author married a Catholic to evidence his firm belief that religious strife is a fabrication, which is what I like most about the book.
Everyone who reads this book will be swept away by the author's beautiful language and skillful writing. Dr. Berrah's narrative style in his memoirs is logical, practical, and considerate, allowing readers to feel like they are with him. The images in the book offer a striking visual representation of the author's assertions, which strengthens the credibility and richness of the story.
Apart from a few blurry or old photos, this book has little wrong with it. The author should offer to update the photos with today's technology to keep his memoir current. I did not dislike anything in the book.
In sum, A Dream for Peace is a flawlessly crafted work of art that uplifts and empowers. Everyone interested in international affairs, religious tolerance, or being a leader should read this book. Readers keen on nonfiction, autobiographies, or inspirational works would greatly benefit from this book. Anyone who reads Dr. Berrah's memoirs will no doubt be inspired to work toward world peace, a goal that is as important now as it was when he wrote them. I rate the book 5 out of 5 stars because the book is exceptionally edited and relevant today.
