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

Book Review: Wonderful inspiring story
Summary: 5 Stars

Three Cups of Tea is about the most inspiring book I've ever read. I found this well-told story compelling and suspenseful and was unable to put it down until I'd finished. The background and perspective it offers of the cultures and politics of Pakistan and Afghanistan were remarkably vivid and edifying and at the same time as gripping as a detective novel. In this current period of worldwide conflict, this story of Greg Mortenson's dedication and accomplishments make you believe in an attainable and better future. That alone would make it a worthwhile read.

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

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.
