Product Description
The inspiring account of one mans campaign to build schools in the most dangerous, remote, and anti- American reaches of Asia

In 1993 Greg Mortenson was the exhausted survivor of a failed attempt to ascend K2, an American climbing bum wandering emaciated and lost through Pakistans Karakoram Himalaya. After he was taken in and nursed back to health by the people of an impoverished Pakistani village, Mortenson 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 timeGreg Mortensons one-man mission to counteract extremism by building schools, especially for girls, throughout the breeding ground of the Taliban.

Award-winning journalist David Oliver Relin has collaborated on this spellbinding account of Mortensons incredible accomplishments in a region where Americans are often feared and hated. In pursuit of his goal, Mortenson has survived kidnapping, fatwas issued by enraged mullahs, repeated 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. Three Cups of Tea is at once an unforgettable adventure and the inspiring true story of how one man really is changing the worldone school at a time.

4 out of 5 stars Excellent book, but Leaving Microsoft to Change the World is even better   January 8, 2009
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

Everyone should read this book - its a life changer. However, even better, but for some reason being overlooked by the world, is "Leaving Microsoft to Change the World" by John Woods. I don't understand why 3 Cups is being promoted by booksellers and is being given such high profile, where John Wood's book is not. John Wood went on to create the organization Room to Read which has a much broader goal, to build schools and libraries in developing countries around the world, not just one country. His book is a better read from start to end. I found that 3 Cups got bogged down with the details of the local politics. My suggestion; read both, but if you only have time for one life changing book, than choose the John Wood book!

I think this book was amazing. "Dr. Greg" spoke at my university which was amazing in and of itself, then after reading this book I have to say he is one of my heroes. The book is well written and gives insight into the many dilemmas facing the US in Afghanistan today while also providing an inspiring story of one man's mission to change the world and do what most believe is utterly impossible. Fantastic Book!!!


3 out of 5 stars Nice enough story, but poorly written   January 7, 2009
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I bought this book because I was looking for something inspirational, and while it is a nice story, it is so poorly written I find it hard to recommend. It would have been interesting to see what an established writer like Jon Krakauer (Into Thin Air) would have done with it.


4 out of 5 stars MY NEW LIFE BOOK   January 6, 2009
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

THIS STORY OF GREG'S TENACIOUS VICTORY WILL REMAIN A LIFE BOOK i WANT TO SHARE WITH OTHERS. IT HAS GIVEN ME INSIGHT INTO A DISTANT REGION. A TIME LINE, GLOSSARY AND EVEN A LIST OF CHARACTERS WOULD HAVE BEEN EVEN BETTER.THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO SHARE THIS EXPERIENCE WITH THE WESTERN WORLD.

In this egomaniac, me age, it is refreshing to read about someone who thinks about helping others. Recommend this book to those who are xenophobic and who are afraid to travel outside the well trodden luxury hotel path.
