Starred Review. Some failures lead to phenomenal successes， and this American nurse’s unsuccessful attempt to climb K2， the world’s second tallest mountain， is one of them. Dangerously ill when he finished his climb in 1993， Mortenson was sheltered for seven weeks by the small Pakistani village of Korphe; in return， he promised to build the impoverished town’s first school， a project that grew into the Central Asia Institute， which has since constructed more than 50 schools across rural Pakistan and Afghanistan. Coauthor Relin recounts Mortenson’s efforts in fascinating detail， presenting compelling portraits of the village elders， con artists， philanthropists， mujahideen， Taliban officials， ambitious school girls and upright Muslims Mortenson met along the way. As the book moves into the post-9/11 world， Mortenson and Relin argue that the United States must fight Islamic extremism in the region through collaborative efforts to alleviate poverty and improve access to education， especially for girls. Captivating and suspenseful， with engrossing accounts of both hostilities and unlikely friendships， this book will win many readers’ hearts. (Mar.)

Book Description
The astonishing， uplifting story of a real-life Indiana Jones and his humanitarian campaign to use education to combat terrorism in the Taliban’s backyard

Anyone who despairs of the individual’s power to change lives has to read the story of Greg Mortenson， a homeless mountaineer who， following a 1993 climb of Pakistan’s treacherous K2， was inspired by a chance encounter with impoverished mountain villagers and promised to build them a school. 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.
