| As the jacket copy promises, this is truly an extraordinary story,
an insight into an often misunderstood part of the world. Greg Mortenson aims to do more for America's "War on Terror"
than any government's military strategy. His weapon is education -he believes that providing these children with an unbiased view of t
he world will give them the insight and motivation to do positive,
peaceful things with their lives.I found it incredibly eye-opening and an intriguing glimpse at what could be achieved
if we relied a little more on the pen - and a little less on the sword. |
