This book shows the nature of human courage & fortitude. Bringing light of knowledge to a deprived & backward area is the noblest & kindest mission. Greg Mortenson has written a vivid tale of his educating mission. I think this book should be read by every leader of Pakistan to learn the ways of doing things in bringing their country forward. It teaches us that we can with a little effort can make the future of the backward regions a story of success. It is inspiring and shows us all the way to remove the darkness of ignorance and bringing hope where there was none. Arman Najmi, India
