Sincerely, the book deserves a full star rating. I'm very impressed by the sort of life Dr. Berrah led. I particularly loved his relationship with his Mom. Like the way she knows things about him that he hasn't even talked to her about. Such is the powerful instinct of a living mother.Barbie_sidhu wrote: ↑16 Feb 2021, 01:05 The book is a very astounding read. The author did so much in life; from marrying three times to knowing great personalities and touring the world, each phase of his story is worth admiring. When I first saw the cover of the book, I was skeptical. But when I read it, I couldn't get enough. I deserves a full star rating. A great memoir.

One thing about great men like Dr. Ghoulem Berrah is that when they set their minds to do things for their countries, no form of suffering, pain, threat, danger, or stumbling block will stop them. I admire Dr. Berrah a lot, and will gladly recommend the book to anyone.Jenniferg_1105 wrote: ↑20 Feb 2021, 23:59 I enjoyed this book. This man led a very interesting life. His dedication to his cause was admirable. Even spending time in prison did not stop this ambitious man from trying to achieve his dream for peace. He is inspiring and sends a strong message of never giving up on your dreams.

I really understand your point, especially as the book is an autobiography. It is not something impossible for authors to try to fine tune the things they did for the story to sound interesting and for them to look like the heros. However, I do believe Dr. Berrah because he provided proofs with images.

Sometimes, I wonder why the whole world cannot be peaceful. Why colonize other people? And while at it, why treat them like nonhumans and make them second class citizens in their homes? I was elated to read about the life of Dr. Ghoulem Berrah and what he did for the freedom of his country Algeria. I hope that every that doesn't have peace at the moment will get someone to stand up for them and say "enough is enough."lavkathleen wrote: ↑23 Feb 2021, 02:19It got boring for me, too. I struggled to finish reading this book.Fleurine_t92 wrote: ↑13 Feb 2021, 01:27 The author know how to show off his past, struggles and strengths he got. This is the nice book. But only I couldn't put in mind to read to understand and trying to find the error. In that case, reading other professions I didn't know is hard for me and the story was being some kind of boring to me. I like some quotes inside this book. Finding the peace as his title said wasn't easy to get in real life. In myanmar, we trying hard to get it but it still far away from us. The book make me ashamed of myself because I felt I didn't make a move enough to get it.
I'm from the Philippines and we're far from peace, too. I understand the feeling of shame but it helps! It helps you push yourself to be a better person for the country, especially now that you've learned a lot of things from Dr. Berrah.

That's what I think too! The title was so befitting for the book. I was in awe of the book. Dr. Ghoulem Berrah's approach toward many people of different religions is something that stood out most for me. I respect him a lot for that.Alice Ngugi wrote: ↑24 Feb 2021, 00:44 An unexamined life is not worth living indeed rings true with this book. Having gone through what he went through, I believe finding peace was a very fitting title for the book. An absolutely wonderful 4 stars book.

I will admit that the quotes in the book were one of the reasons I enjoyed the book so much. The book was well structured. He started from his humble beginnings, telling about his origin, then the book progressed. His accomplishments inspire me too. His major breakthrough in the field of science was notable too.Victor Jerry- wrote: ↑25 Feb 2021, 23:13 I rate it 4 out of 4 stars because I believe the author has done a great job in telling his past to us. There's a lot to learn from his story but I really enjoyed the added quotes in the book. I was really inspired about his accomplishments, career and how he handled his family. I look up to the author as I will try to emulate his ways.

If anyone doesn't get inspired after reading this book about the life of Dr. Ghoulem Berrah, I don't know what will inspire them. He went through a lot in life to make sure that he makes a difference for his dear country Algeria and her citizens. Dr. Berrah's life story needs to be read by many.

Very true! Everything we do should be geared towards the wellbeing and development of humans. That is what civilization is all about. At least, that was what brought about civilization. I don't understand why humans are now doing things to make the lives of other humans difficult. If everyone can be as selfless as Dr. Berrah, the world will sure be a better place.Mr Excellence wrote: ↑16 Oct 2022, 22:14 I think if everyone can patriotic,and resilient like Dr. Berrah, the world would be a better place.
I will rate it 4 stars out of 4.

The struggle and triumph of those who participated in the war for colonial independence are the subjects of the book. His perspective was elaborated in his thoughts and deeds. I adore how he humanizes real struggles and triumphs .samps1910 wrote: ↑06 Feb 2021, 02:30 I find that this book is overall a very inspiring work. His struggle and his hard work as an activist really opened my mind and this is what I like about the book. There's nothing I dislike about it. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys biographies. This is a pleasant read!

I've never been very interested in biographies, but this book stands out from the other ones I've read previously. The story might sometimes draw you in and make you forget that you are reading a true description of events. I really enjoyed the book, especially how moral it was.Jenniferg_1105 wrote: ↑07 Feb 2021, 18:34 I do not usually read biographies but A Dream for Peace is a very good an inspiring story. I love the unwavering quest for equality and peace in this story. The love and respect for family portrayed in this book is admirable.
