About This Book
One Man's Mission to Promote Peace... One School at a Time
The astonishing, uplifting story of a real-life Indiana Jones and his
humanitarian campaign to use education to combat terrorism in the
Taliban’s backyard
Anyone who despairs of the individual’s power to change lives has to
read the story of Greg Mortenson, a homeless mountaineer who, following
a 1993 climb of Pakistan’s treacherous K2, was inspired by a chance
encounter with impoverished mountain villagers and promised to build
them a school. Over the next decade he built fifty-five
schools?especially for girls?that offer a balanced education in one of
the most isolated and dangerous regions on earth. As it chronicles
Mortenson’s quest, which has brought him into conflict with both enraged
Islamists and uncomprehending Americans, Three Cups of Tea combines
adventure with a celebration of the humanitarian spirit.
