Review of A Dream For Peace
[Following is a volunteer review of "A Dream For Peace" by Dr. Ghoulem Berrah.]
A Dream for Peace by Dr. Ghoulem Berrah is an interesting work of nonfiction that discusses the life story of the author in a memoir. It is a smart narrative written by a multitalented man who lived during Africa's transitions through various revolutions, from industrial to political to economic. He was a warrior for Algerian independence. He was born in Aïn Beïda, a small town in Algeria, during the time when Algeria was still a French colony. Dr. Ghoulem became a fighter for Algeria as a result of the French colonization. He fought against injustice and prejudice. Because of his fervent belief in the equality of people, he never gave up in the face of injustice or difficulties. In addition, he was a doctor, scientist, special advisor, supporter of freedom, advocate for peace, and social activist. The author also mentions that he was the first scientist to propose a theory on “reverse transcriptase enzymes.”
I adored how the author incorporated pictures into this book at various moments. They provided more detail and made it easier to visualize the subject the author was describing or alluding to. The author gave a fascinating account of his life. His recollections of his childhood in his village and the tenderness and love in his mother's eyes as she pampered him were vividly brought to mind. I admired the author's respect for many religions and his open-mindedness. At the end of each chapter, the author included a glossary. I was incredibly impressed with the story's plain language and consistent portrayal of each character's role, and I enjoyed reading it.
There was nothing that I disliked about the book; it was insightful and informative to read. Although the book was too long and some names were challenging to pronounce, apart from that, I enjoyed reading this book. When others would have kept quiet at such a young age, the author repeatedly stood up for what was right. The racial abuse he received was not tolerated by him. Inspiring words that exhort people to promote peace and maintain an optimistic attitude toward success are sprinkled throughout the message and plot, which are both fast-paced. This lends authenticity to the book.
I am glad that I came across such an insightful and compelling book. I enjoyed it from the beginning to the end. Furthermore, I am rating this book, A Dream for Peace, 5 out of 5 stars because it was well-written and intriguing to read. There were no grammatical errors or mistakes in it; therefore, it was exceptionally well edited.
I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in African history, politics, or colonialism.
