Some may say this true story is too idealistic. I say, it is truly inspiring. How often have we asked ourselves what one individual can do to make our world a more peaceful and productive planet, to fight terrorism at its root, and to educate the next generation. Greg Mortenson has done just that. This book is a page turner you won't be able to put down. I highly recommend it to all readers who care about humanity and the cost of poor political decisions world wide.
