From the Back Cover
Advance praise for Three Cups of Tea:
"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
"Greg Mortenson represents the best of America.
He's my hero. And after you read Three Cups of Tea, he'll be your hero, too."
-U.S. representative Mary Bono (R-Calif.)
"Three Cups of Tea is beautifully written. It is also a
critically important book at this time in history. The governments of Pakistan
and Afghanistan
are both failing their students on a massive scale. The work Mortenson is
doing, providing the poorest students with a balanced education, is making them
much more difficult for the extremist madrassas to recruit."
-Ahmed Rashid, best-selling author of Taliban: Militant
Islam, Oil, and Fundamentalism in Central Asia
