Description

Greg Mortenson's Stones Into Schools is a gripping first-person narrative that picks up where his previous book left off in 2003. The author recounts his relentless efforts to establish schools for girls in Afghanistan, as well as his work in Azad Kashmir and Pakistan after a devastating earthquake hit the region in 2005.

Through his experiences, Mortenson shares his broader vision to promote peace through education and literacy, while also touching on military matters, Islam, and women's roles. The book is woven together with the many rich personal stories of the people who have been involved in this remarkable two-decade humanitarian effort.

This book offers a unique insight into the author's remarkable journey, from dodging shootouts with feuding warlords to surviving an eight-day armed abduction by the Taliban. With its many personal stories and anecdotes, Stones Into Schools is a compelling read for anyone interested in humanitarian work, education, and the complexities of the Middle East.
