In 1993, a mountaineer named Greg Mortenson drifted into an
impoverished Pakistan village in the Karakoram mountains after a failed attempt
to climb K2. Moved by the inhabitants' kindness, he promissed to return and
build a school.
Three Cups of Tea is the story of that promise and its
extraordinary outcome. Over the next decade Mortenson built not just one but
fifty-five schools - especially for girls - in the forbidding terrain that gave
birth to the Taliban.
His story is at once a riveting adventure and a testament to the power of the
humanitarian spirit. Laced with drama, danger, romance, and good deeds,
Mortenson's story serves as a reminder of the power of a good idea and the
strength inherent in one person's passionate determination to persevere against
enormous obstacles.
