Product Description:
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.

Rating : - Amazing!!!!
To sum it up, an amazing book that shows the power of peace.

No matter what your political orientation is, you cannot help but believe in the work that Greg Mortenson is doing. He truly is a hero, working to make the world a better place in a manner that helps, not hurts, humanity. This book was definitely worth reading; it not only edifies but entertains as well...I read it on the beach on vacation and could not put it down!

PLEASE read this book!
