Editorial Review: Product Description: The inspiring account of one man's campaign to build schools in the most dangerous, remote, and anti-American reaches of Asia. Average Rating:
 Rating: - No wonder it unanimously gets 5 starsTruly one of the most inspirational books I have read in awhile. The beginning of this book is a little slow, focusing on Greg Mortenson's climbing expeditions that eventually leads him to find the people of Korphe, and promising them a school. After coming back to the states and scrounging up funds from philanthropists, Mortenson goes back and builds many schools in various regions through Pakistan/Afghanistan/Waziristan.

The only "hero" here if there is one would be Jean Hoerni, who donated over a million dollars to build all the schools. ... Read More Rating: - Amazing book!This book changed so many of my views on the middle east. Greg Morrenson should win the Nobel Peace Prize for his work. Rating: - An Inspiring ReadI just finished this beautiful book. I found this book to be inspiring and touching. Sometimes there is a feeling that just one person can't make a difference, that all the world's problems are just too great but Greg Mortensen challenges that idea. With just a small idea that grew into a huge project that has helped so many, Greg has inspired so many. I love also that he doesn't just show all the positive aspects of his projects but shares realistic accounts of his failures and achievements. He is not someone ...
