“Three Cups of Tea is one of the most remarkable adventure stories of our time. Greg Mortenson’s dangerous and difficult quest to build schools in the wildest parts of Pakistan and Afghanistan is not only a thrilling read, it’s proof that one ordinary person, with the right combination of character and determination, really can change the world.” -Tom Brokaw"A stunningly simple story of how to make peace" -Bloomsbury Review"Fascinating...one only hopes U.S. policymakers read Mortenson's book" -Philadelphia Inquirer"Astonishing tale of compassion - and of promise kept" -Time Magazine Asia Book of the Year"Laced with drama, danger, romance, and good deeds" -Christian Science Monitor
