Product Description
Written by a mountaineer who in 1993, after a terrifying and disastrous attempt to climb K2, drifted cold and dehydrated, into an impoverished Pakistan village in the Karakoram Mountains. It tells how moved by the inhabitants' kindness, he promised to return and build a school. It tells the story of that promise and its outcome.

 This is an Awe Inspiring Book September 5, 2010
Taz
This really is an awesome book, one of the best books I've ever read in fact!
If you enjoy this book, I recommend the sequel, stones into schools. Enjoy!
Bravery and naivity September 5, 2010

This was a wonderful insight into the the life of a man who was driven to just do the right thing because it needed doing. And it cuts across the ridiculous barriers of race and creed the western world has put up.
Amazing, engaging and a real eye opener! September 5, 2010

An amazingly inspirational story! Mortenson proves that anyone anywhere can make a huge difference if they try. I couldn't put it down, not only are we told about his incredible story but Mortenson also gives us an insight into a culture that is so often misunderstood in the west. As a teacher I feel that reading this book has been lifechanging for me and has definately spurred me on to go off and try and put my stamp where it's needed. Thank you Greg Mortenson for all your amazing work, and for sharing your story! Well written, informative and the sort of book you'd want to re-read. I've just started reading his second book Stones Into Schools which is proving to be equally fantastic. A must read!
A great read, very hard having to put the book down September 4, 2010

Absolutely fantastic! A great read. I have learnt so much about Pakistan and its population. I would recommend it to everyone, young and old. Through knowledge and understanding WE can help to provide stability in an extremely volatile part of the world. Looking forward to reading 'Stones for schools'.
