So far this book is really good. I have only made my way through a couple of chapters since picking it up the other night, but I am excited about working through this book.

After finishing the book, and take a bit to think back on the whole journey, I really liked it. As a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom, I spent a lot of time working with the Iraqis. After reading this I see a lot of similarities between the two countries and greatly admire Greg Mortenson's work. Education truly is key to helping the people of the middle east. I would greatly recommend this book to anyone who wants a more complete understanding of the adversities faced by those people.
