Stones Into Schools

Promoting Peace With Books, Not Bombs, In Afghanistan And Pakistan

BY GREG MORTENSEN

Brief Description:
Greg Mortenson picks up where Three Cups of Tea left off in 2003 and recounts his relentless, ongoing efforts to establish schools for girls in Afghanistan, as well as his work after the huge earthquake that shook the area in 2005. He tells of the unique ways he has built relationships with Islamic clerics, militia commanders, and tribal leaders even as he was dodging shootouts with feuding Afghan warlords and surviving an 8-day abduction by the Taliban. He shares for the first time his broader vision to promote peace through education and literacy.
