Share This Review

A Dream for Peace by Dr. Ghoulem Berrah is a memoir of the trials and triumphs of the author. It describes the life of the author, an Algerian, and his role in the struggle for liberation against colonialists, France.

From his early struggles with language disparities and systematic racism to his time in prison, meetings and dealings with prominent world leaders, and his groundbreaking discovery in the world of science, the story of Dr. Ghoulem Berrah is worth reading and remembering.

There was a lot to like about this book. As someone in the medical profession myself, I found the memoir to be very inspiring. The first thing I noticed about the book was how easy it was to read. The editing was flawless, and it was very well proofread. I noticed no errors in this book. Although lengthy, the book manages to retain the interest of the reader throughout. I also loved how the pictures provided a very visual experience.

Another thing I loved about the book is that it was written in such a way that one cannot help but feel intense admiration for the protagonist. The reader is forced to admire his doggedness, determination, courage, and passion to serve wherever he found himself. I also could not help but admire how meticulously written the book was. The author makes sure to include even the littlest details of his life. This made the book very relatable and helped me enjoy the book more.

The first thing I disliked about the book was the author's perception of women and their role in society. I found it to be archaic, discriminatory, and sexist. I also did not like that at the beginning of the book, the author talks a lot about the traditions he was born into. While I could understand that it was necessary for the context of the story itself, I found it boring. It made certain parts of the book come off as a thesis.

I would rate this book a 4 out of 4 stars. This is because there was simply nothing about the book that did not deserve a perfect rating. The story itself was an amazing and inspiring one, and it was also very well edited and proofread.

I would recommend this book to Muslim readers. This is because not only is the author Muslim, but the memoir is written in such a way that Muslim readers will be able to relate to it more. There are also certain terms that the reader may be more familiar with. I would also recommend this book to readers from Algeria. This is because they may be more familiar with the history of Algeria, and certain terms used in the book may appear more familiar to them. I would recommend this book to lovers of politics and activism. I would also recommend this book to lovers of history. I would not recommend this book to people who are sensitive about the rights of women. This is because the author possesses a very traditional view of the role of women in society, which such readers might find offensive. I also would not recommend this book to particularly sensitive readers. This is because the book contains mentions of racism, wars, sexism, and abortion.

With all the praise I've seen this book get, it's a marvel that I haven't gotten around to reading it yet. Frankly, I get bored easily, but who knows... this one might dispel that.

Fighting racism isn't an easy one. It requires a lot of self confidence and high self esteem in other not to get into depression. I'll love to read this book because your review says a lot about the book.

I've come across this book countless times. Let me tell you, I find myself questioning the book because of it's length. I don't want to start what I can't finish, lol. But with your detailed review, I might be giving it a read soon.

I really dislike sexism and discrimination. Clearly this book is not for me as it contains elements of discrimination. Thank you for the honest review
