One man's mission to fight terrorism and build nations....one school at a time.
In 1993, Mortenson was the exhausted survivor of a failed mountaineering expedition, wandering lost and emaciated through Pakistan's Karakoram Himalaya. Taken in and nursed back to health by the people of an impoverished Pakistani village, he promised to return one day and build them a school. From that rash, earnest promise grew one of the most incredible humanitarian campaigns of our time - Mortenson's one-man mission to counteract extremism by building schools, especially for girls, throughout the breeding ground of the Taliban. Now in paper. 352 pp.
