Stones into schools : promoting peace with books, not bombs, in Afghanistan and Pakistan

Mortenson, Greg (Author).

Summary: Subtitled "Promoting Peace with Books, Not Bombs, in Afghanistan and Pakistan". In this dramatic first-person narative, the author picks up from where "Three Cups of Tea" left off in 2003, recounting his ongoing efforts to establish schools for girls in Afghanistan, his extensive work in Pakistan after the 2005 earthquake, and the unique ways he has built relationships with Islamic clerics, militia commanders, and tribal leaders. He shares his broader vision to promote peace through education and literacy, as well as the many rich personal stories of the people involved in this humanitarian effort
