In his last book, Three Cups of Tea, Greg Mortenson recounted his unsuccessful attempt to climb K2, the world’s second-tallest mountain, because of illness, and his recovery in a small Pakistani village. In return for the kindness of his hosts, he promised to build the impoverished town’s first school. Stones into Schools picks up where that story left off. In this latest book, Mortenson details more about his vision of promoting peace through education and literacy.
