Dear Greg Mortenson,

I went on holiday this Christmas and read your book in all its infinite wisdom within 4 days. I am not exaggerating when I say that it is the most important book I will read regarding education and is an inspiration for educators and future educators like myself. I, too, wish to bring education to the margins of the world and your book has provided me with a guide and a blazed trail for me to follow.

Your work along with your staff both in the States and overseas is absolutely admirable. This book will lay the groundwork for all those wishing to emulate your accomplishments. Perhaps it won’t be the most gripping book for those who have no interest in non-fiction, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and/or education, but for those who are, it is a masterpiece that blends personal stories and characters with history, sociology and unrelenting optimism.
