Review of A Dream For Peace
[Following is a volunteer review of "A Dream For Peace" by Dr. Ghoulem Berrah.]
The memoir A Dream for Peace by Dr Ghoulem Berrah revolves around the author's story. He discusses his personal life as well as his political career. Ghoulem was born into a low-income family in an unpopular village in northern Africa. His mother worked hard to train him from an early age until he was able to obtain a scholarship overseas, thanks to his intellect. While studying, he joined politics to fight against white supremacy's oppression of marginalised races. Ghoulem continues his activism to the point where he endangers his life. His actions led him to be thrown away in jail. Eventually, he was released from prison but continued his struggle. Read this novel to see what Ghoulem achieves while preaching peace and how he ends the oppression of marginalised races.
I love the character Ghoulem. What I love about him is his intelligence. Not only is he clever enough for politics, but also for medicine. It was intelligence that brought him to where he is. He got a scholarship abroad, formed an Algerian resolution group, and did so much. I believe he is an exceptional man, blessed by God. It is rare to find a man like him. I will compare Ghoulem to some leaders in the past, such as Lincoln, Kennedy, and Gandhi. Another thing I love about the character is that he is a man who isn't biased. Despite being a Muslim, he still went further to marry a Christian woman, which proves he is truly a man who doesn't care about religious differences.
There are two facets of the book that don't fascinate me. First off, I don't particularly appreciate how the author occasionally uses French in his writing. As I need to improve in French and have a rudimentary understanding of the language, I find reading materials written in it challenging. But since I have a translation app on my phone that translates French terms into English, this is okay. Second, the text's visual quality does not pique my interest. I had to strain my eyes to see better because the picture quality was so bad. But I don't blame the author because, at the time the book was published, cameras produced low-quality photos.
I give this book a score of 5 out of 5 stars. The text's drawbacks are not issues that will prevent me from enjoying the story to the end. Its expertly done editing is one of the reasons it deserves five stars. I only found a minor error. Another factor is the fact that the text contains rich educational content. I learned a lot of things after reading the book; for example, I learned some of the Algerian histories at the time the Europeans invaded Algeria.
Those who love stories about Algerian politics or history will find this novel intriguing. Teens can read it since it contains no sensitive content such as profane words or sexual scenes.
