Representaion Toward Books Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace ... One School at a Time

The inspiring account of one man's campaign to build schools in the most dangerous, remote, and anti-American reaches of Asia. In April 2011, the CBS documentary "60 Minutes" called into question Greg Mortenson's work. The program alleged several inaccuracies in Three Cups of Tea, and its sequel, Stones into Schools, as well as financial improprieties in the operation of Mortenson's Central Asia Institute. Questions were also raised about Mortenson's claim that he got lost near K2 and ended up in Korphe; that he was captured by the Taliban in 1996; the number of schools the CAI claimed to have built; and whether CAI funds had been used appropriately for Mortenson's book tours. Jon Krakauer, who had supported the CAI to the tune of $75,000, also questioned Mortenson's accounts, and released his allegations in a lengthy article titled Three Cups of Deceit.

Judge Out Of Books Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace ... One School at a Time

Another book disappeared from my shelves. I also read Three Cups of Deceit: How Greg Mortenson, Humanitarian Hero, Lost His Way, Krakauer's excellent expose of the ego and lies of Mortenson because I had read it. The book was totally self-serving. Mother Teresa couldn't have written better. Ok I'm not a fan of Mother Teresa, I'm don't quite swallow whole Hitchen's The Missionary Position: Mother Teresa in Theory and Practice, but close. And so it is with Mortenson. He turned personal charity and

I wish goodreads had a 10-star rating for this book. Anyone who has ever wanted to make a difference, anyone who has ever dreamed the impossible dream of a diverse world living together in peaceful coexistence, anyone who has ever feared their own small voice was too small a drop in the bucket to matter -- MUST read this book, and then share it and its message with everyone you know.

Much of Greg's work is valid still, but when I hear a lot of it is fiction and that he has been raiding the charity, I want to send him permanently to Afghanistan to run one of the schools. Here's my original review which I gave five stars:This book affected the way I think about other cultures and the relationship the United States has with them. The writing was fun and well done, sometimes a bit too many adjectives and flowery descriptions were thrown in to make sure we didn't bored, and

Here are a few things Im suspicious of:1. A book with two authors. Its kind of like having too many cooks in the kitchen. 2. A book in which one of the two authors is the main subject of the book. 3. A book in which even though one of the authors is the main subject of the book, the book is written in third person. 4. Cultural imperialism. With these four suspicions in mind, I started in on Three Cups of Tea, which was my book clubs choice for this month. Mortenson is a quirky do-gooder who

Greg Mortenson has an incredible story, one that was documented and shared in this book. He attempted to climb the Himalayas' K2 and ended up in a poor Pakistani town Korphe to recover. He decided to build a school and started working with the local communities to teach and advocate for them. A story worthy of being called a humanitarian hero, but one which has some hair stuck to it. He was burned for fabricating some of the details sourced in this book and misappropriating funds from the

Greg Mortenson is a remarkable man. Product of Minnesota parents who were both athletes and then missionaries, he spent much of his childhood in Tanzania. A high-end climber he was on his way back from an unsuccessful attempt at K2, 30 pounds lighter than he had been before the attempt, when, exhausted and lost, he wound up in the remote village of Korphe. Saved from an icy demise, Mortenson recovered. When the locals showed him their village he noticed that the children had no school. They

I had the honor of presenting the author, David Oliver Relin, at our library book group. Greg Mortenson failed to climb K2, and while he headed back down the mountain, he took a wrong turn, missed his bridge, and found himself in Korphe, a village not found on his maps. (Ridges in the glacier are as big as highways.) The people there welcomed him and brought him back to health. He happened to ask them to take him to their school. There was none. The children met under the cold sky and used
