Review of A Dream For Peace
[Following is a volunteer review of "A Dream For Peace" by Dr. Ghoulem Berrah.]
A Dream for Peace is a nonfiction autobiography written by Dr. Ghoulem Berrah. It summarizes the obstacles he had to overcome in life, leading to his becoming a diplomat. It also includes his greatest achievements and milestones in life. This is not just a memoir or autobiography; it is a glimpse into a man’s heart, a warrior’s heart, a man who did not let anything stop or dissuade him from achieving his dreams. He was purposed and driven to liberate his people from the hardships they had grown up in.
Dr. Ghoulem is a Muslim who hails from Algeria, an African country colonized by France. They learned more about France than they did about their own country. Each chapter covered important milestones in his life. Chapter one covers his birth to his going to the university. The scholarship he got was the starting point for achieving his dreams. The second chapter covers the hardships he faced leading up to his being in prison and the things he faced while in prison. Chapters three and four talk about the struggles and challenges he faced in Morocco. The fifth chapter covers his trip to America and his experiences there. All his life’s successes and failures are documented on these pages.
I was a little freaked out about the voluminous nature of the book, but I was pleasantly surprised. Despite its size, it was captivating, entertaining, educational, and informative. Although the book is long, it deserves every second spent reading it. The author’s writing style made this book quite relatable, especially for Africans. As a Nigerian, I could relate to a lot in this book about the country. I liked that I learned the real facts behind the events that happened. I also liked the pictures added to the book, which made it easier to comprehend.
The author’s life story is a testament to the fact that you can be better than your upbringing. Your surroundings or situation does not determine your whole life. I liked Nana Yalley’s homage to the author. Every reader of this book will take away so many lessons. I love reading autobiographies because they provide a wealth of knowledge and information that you don’t need to go get for yourself. They are books of insights and wisdom, and this book does not fall short. The author is a leader that should be emulated by leaders and everyone wanting to be a leader in any field, especially African leaders.
There was nothing to dislike in this book, and I found no grammatical errors. This book seems to have been professionally and exceptionally edited, making it a seamless read. Therefore, I’m rating this book five out of five stars. I recommend this book to those interested in memoirs, autobiographies, and motivational books. I would also recommend it to people from African nations as a source of inspiration.
