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.
Characters: 70. Amazon rating: 4 1/2 stars. Genre: Non-Fiction.
