Ilustration In Favor Of 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.

Write Up Appertaining To Books Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace ... One School at a Time
When I started reading the book, I was unaware of the controversies surrounding it. This was recommended by a friend.The book strikes the right notes as far as the central cause is concerned - educate children for a better tomorrow. There really is no other way. Greg takes this up in the hilly regions of Pakistan which he visits during his attempt to scale mount K2. His approach of respecting local culture and taking the locals into confidence and building the schools with their full

I'm about in the middle of Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin and I'm ready to quit. First of all because when I just typed my first sentence here, I realized how sick I am of the words "Greg Mortenson". Half way through the book and the author is still immortalizing him by full name. I'm not a big fan of non-fiction but I've read plenty of third person accounts and don't remember this being so irritating in all of them. Greg (smile) built schools in the high mountains

Three Cups of Tea contains a hint of a beautiful story. There were parts that made me tear up. Some of the parts that made me tear up were touching; other parts that made me tear up were painfully written.Greg Mortenson is really an American hero. His work in Pakistan and Afghanistan is truly amazing. David Oliver Relin is an American journalist. His work, at least on this book, is not so heroic. The following are some of my favorite, terrible sentences from the book:And by the time the rising

Greg Mortenson was a mountaineer with his sights set on Pakistans unforgiving K2 when a disaster in his climbing party forced him to abort his attempt on the summit. On his way down, the exhausted climber got lost and wandered into a remote and impoverished village that had never seen a Westerner before.As the kind residents helped Mortenson regain his strength, he committed to repaying them by building a school for the dozens of children he saw carving their lessons into the dirt with sticks.

EDIT: Just so you guys all know, the word "Mortenson" is in the text a total of 1,943 times. That's right. 1,943.What I wish to do so badly to this book. 0 of 5 starsBefore I get started, I just want to say that no review I could ever write ever would ever portray how much this book sucked for me. To me, Three Cups of Tea is the perfect embodiment and representation of the most tragically horrible book I've ever read.In fact, for you today, I'm going to make a list of the 10 most tragic things

While it's hard to give a negative review to a book with its heart in the right place, "Three Cups of Teas" is so full of weaknesses it'd be impossible to give it a rating with any more stars. In fact, the book's writing style alone is so poor, I feel generous giving it even two stars.Though the work Greg Mortenson is doing -- building schools in impoverished parts of Pakistan and Afghanistan sorely in need of them -- is certainly laudable, his mission seems ill-served by "Three Cups." The book,

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
