Three Cups of Tea : One Man's Mission to Fight Terrorism and Build Nations . . . One School at a Time

I think that many of the problems between the United States and parts of the Middle East have to do with the fact that we really know nothing about each other. Reading this book was a wealth of information about how everyday people live in Pakistan and Afghanistan. This is an adventure story, with a little bit of love story thrown in. What this man has done is remarkable and the story is completely inspirational. It would be a good fiction story, its an even better one since it is true.
I was glued to my autographed copy until I finished it and promptly loaned it to a friend that I made swear to protect it because it is a treasured possession.
Failed Climber Fights Terrorism with the Open Hand of Friendship
A Montana man who failed in his attempt to climb K2 succeeded in bridging a massive gap between cultures where even the U.S. government has failed.
In 1993, Greg Mortenson, a man who lived out of his car in service to his mountain-climbing passion, failed his attempt at the K2 and wandered into a small Pakistani village called Korphe, where the villagers nursed him to health, fortifying him with cups of tea. Mortenson decided he would somehow repay their hospitality by building the town's first school.
The book, written by Mortenson with David Oliver Relin, reads like an Indiana Jones-style adventure. It is also honest about the initially naïve but gallant Mortenson's mistakes and triumphs as he climbs to success.
Too naive to know he "could not succeed," Mortenson raised money to build the school by painstakingly typing 500 letters to every celebrity and wealthy person to whom he could find addresses. NBC News Anchor Tom Brokaw sent him $100, and no one else replied. He persisted until a wealthy benefactor gave Mortenson the $12,000 he figured he needed to build the school in the remote Pakistani village.
Three Cups of Tea is filled with adventures and details about Mortenson's travel that rival Hemingway's novels.
One passage describes Mortenson's attempts at fitting in to Pakistani culture by dressing as a Pakistani man:
Mortenson slid into the clean, oatmeal-colored shalwar shirt, which was crisp and still warm from the iron. Then, modestly shielded by the knee-length shirttails, he pulled on his baggy new pants. He tied the azarband, the waiststring, with a tight bow and turned toward Manzoor for inspection.
"Bohot Kharab!" very horrible, Manzoor pronounced. He lunged toward Mortenson, grabbed the azarband, which hung outside the infidel's trousers, and tucked it inside the waistband. "It is forbidden to wear as such, Manzoor said. Mortenson felt the tripwires that surrounded him in Pakistani culture-the rigid codes of conduct he was bound to stumble into-and resolved to try to avoid further explosions of offense.
Surviving in spite of death threats, excessive pots of milky tea, greedy villains and kidnapping, Mortenson succeeds, and the project became the Central Asia Institute, which has built more than 50 schools serving thousands of children across rural Pakistan and Afghanistan. Could it be that this approach, rather than "diplomacy" at the threat of the gun, is the real way to win the hearts and minds of Muslims?
Three Cups of Tea is a real page turner that clearly demonstrates that the way to peaceful coexistence between creeds, religions and nations is the hand of friendship.
An Extraordinary Man
An inspirational and enlightening book that captivates my mind, strengthens my belief in humankind, and educates me in current politics and Middle-Eastern ways. We can all relate to Dr. Greg in an ordinary, emotional way, and hope that someday we, too, can become more extraordinary in our efforts to help others as unselfishly as he has.
