Description
He didn’t plan to change the world, but fate decided otherwise. An ordinary student and an intrepid mountaineer didn’t conquer the most difficult mountain peak. Instead, Greg Mortenson gave children from remote areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan the chance to get an education and the opportunity to follow different ideals.
A two-time nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize built 145 schools, and dozens of medical facilities, in gratitude for saving his own life. He managed to rally not only philanthropists and journalists, but also local residents, who awarded the hero the third cup of tea and made him part of a large family.
An inspiring book based on real events is the story of a person who, alone, led one of the largest charity campaigns.
The book is based on memories, interview materials, and even stories from his enemies—people whose contacts Greg Mortenson personally provided to a co-author to create a complete picture.
