Product Description

 
One man's campaign to build schools in the most dangerous, remote, and anti-American reaches of Asia: in 1993 Greg Mortenson was an American mountain-climbing bum wandering emaciated and lost through Pakistan's Karakoram. After he was taken in and nursed back to health by the people of a Pakistani village, he promised to return one day and build them a school. From that rash, earnest promise grew one of the most incredible humanitarian campaigns of our time--Mortenson's one-man mission to counteract extremism by building schools, especially for girls, throughout the breeding ground of the Taliban. In a region where Americans are often feared and hated, he has survived kidnapping, fatwas issued by enraged mullahs, death threats, and wrenching separations from his wife and children. But his success speaks for itself--at last count, his Central Asia Institute had built fifty-five schools.--From publisher description.

Date of Review:  Jun 15, 2008
The Bottom Line: This is not only an enjoyable real life story, it is an important read in these difficult times.
Review: In these polarized political times, there are many ways of looking at the world. As our politicians, stake out fuzzy positions about how to fight the "war on terror" (how does one conduct war on a noun anyway), people like Greg Mortensen are making...

Date of Review:  Jul 7, 2009
The Bottom Line: An inspiring story of a man, who despite personal failures, is making a difference by building schools in impoverished areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Review: Slowly and painfully, we are seeing worldwide acceptance of the fact that the wealthier and more technologically advanced countries have a responsibility to help the underdeveloped ones.... Not only through a sense of charity, but also because only...

Professional Reviews

  Biggers, Jeff, Bloomsbury Review: "It is not often that a sense of beauty and humanity creep into chronicles about so-called war zones like Afghanistan. Perhaps this is the real beauty of THREE CUPS OF TEA: Mortenson's mission is a relentlessly positive one, and his ability to reveal the beauty and refuse to accept the brutal reality around him is an inspiring, heroic, and at times even crazy pursuit for the positive to become the norm in places that have taken their fair share of neglect."
