Editorial Review: Product Description: 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.

 Rating: - Amazing....I will only repeat what so many have said before me; this story is simply amazing and most of all, humbling. It reiterates a point made by so many people working in developing countries; education (especially of girls) is the key to eradicating terrorism, combating poverty and spreading peace throughout the volatile regions of the world. It's incredible that one man can initiate so much positive change for some of the world's poorest. Incredible, I have not read something so inspiring ...
