Description

The astonishing, uplifting story of a real-life Indiana Jones and his humanitarian campaign to make use of education to combat terrorism within the Taliban’s backyard

Anyone who despairs of the person’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, used to be inspired by a possibility encounter with impoverished mountain villagers and promised to build them a school. Over the following decade he built fifty-five schools—especially for girls—that offer a balanced education in one of the crucial isolated and dangerous regions on this planet. 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.

From Viking Press
Regarding the 60 Minutes episode that aired April 17, 2011: “Greg Mortenson’s work as a humanitarian in Afghanistan and Pakistan has provided tens of thousands of children with an education. 60 Minutes is a serious news organization and within the wake of their report, Viking plans to carefully review the materials with the creator.”
