We often read about the history of colonialism: we know that people fought for freedom. But it is even more interesting to read this story when an active member and organizer of the liberation movements tell the story. This person is Dr. Ghoulem Berrah, and in his book A Dream for Peace he told us about the process. The book is autobiographical, where the author describes his whole life in seventeen chapters. He tells from childhood and portrays the events step by step. His main purpose was to inform the reader about the activities of Algerian students related to the liberation of Algeria from France. Ghoulem Berrah was from Algeria and had come to France for education. The book contains the history of the establishment of such organizations as UGEMA, FEANF and OAS.

I like everything in this book. I like the narrative style, the words chosen by the author when he wanted to convey feelings and emotions. I like the chronology of the book; all the events were next to each other and did not cause a feeling of confusion. I also like how the book was divided into chapters. Of course, I like the story! I especially remember the period of the author's imprisonment, and I was amazed that even in those difficult circumstances, the author did not lose hope for the future, did not lose faith, and on the contrary, he tried to strengthen his faith, and for that he relied on religious beliefs.

I have read this book with great observation and pleasure, so I can confidently say that there is nothing in this book that I did not like. I can only say one good thing about this book. Everything in the book is realistic, and the author does not say anything excessive. We can verify any historical facts reflected in the book in internet sources and realize that the author tells us everything objectively, which is appreciated.

Summarizing the reasons listed above, I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. I did not find any grammatical errors in it - the book is substantive and easy to read. Any chapter is relevant to the title and will not irritate the reader.

I recommend this book to those who love reading documentaries. As well as those who enjoy historical content and those who are interested in colonialism and liberation movements. In particular, I would like to mention that this book is also a good resource for those who are interested in NGOs and their work. In the book you will meet important topics related to the establishment of non-governmental organizations, the selection of members and their future functioning.
