"The story of how this happened is a cliffhanger as well as an first-hand introduction to the people and places of a region little understood by most Americans. The subtitle, "One Man's Mission to Fight Terrorism and Build Nations . . . One School at a Time," underscores the motivation behind his work."

Mortenson put his hands on the shoulders of Sadhar Khan's brown robe, as he's done a decade earlier, among other mountains, with another leader, named Hajji Ali, conscious, not of the gunmen still observing him through their sniperscopes, nor of the shahid stones, warmed to amber by the sun's late rays, but of the inner mountain he'd committed, in that instant, to climb.
