Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time Horror Book Review

  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.
