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, <I>Three Cups of Tea</I> combines adventure with a celebration of the humanitarian spirit.<br><br>An inspiring book about what one man can do to fight terrorism by building schools for girls in Afghanistan and Pakistan in some of the remotest parts of the world. The book chronicles the "trials and tribulations" that Greg Mortenson encountered as he tried to build these schools, the dangers he faced, the political, cultural and economic factors he had to overcome in order to realize his dream. 251800 2006 Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . .
