From that rash, earnest promise grew one of the most incredible humanitarian campaigns of our time--Mortenson's one-man mission to counteract extremism by building schools, especially for girls, throughout the breeding ground of the Taliban. Award-winning journalist David Oliver Relin has collaborated on this spellbinding account of Mortenson's incredible accomplishments in a region where Americans are often feared and hated. Over the following decade Mortenson built not just one but fifty-five schools. Three Cups of Tea is at once an unforgettable adventure and the inspiring story of how one man really is changing the world--one school at a time.Make this your next book club selection and everyone saves.

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.Hide

I couldn't finish this book, as hard as I tried. The writing is of such poor, amateurish quality that it distracts from the story of one man's passion. I have never heard of David Oliver Relin, but he did not do justice to Greg Mortenson. Sorry, not recommended.

Love fiction, generally don't like non-fiction. It's not that I don't have utmost respect for amazing people and their inspiring lives...but I just get bored and wait for it to end impatiently.
This book was the exception... It REALLY sucked me in. I itched to read more and more. Just goes to show ...
