no words to describe

read it no matter who you are.. it will make a difference and give you a different perspective in life :)

Amazing book!

Over the Summer I read a lot of books, but none came close to this one!
I gained a whole new perspective on a age old problem. Greg's wisdom & courage should inspire us all to look at alternative solutions. We will never live in a perfect world but We can certainly make it a better one!

Couldn't put it down. Reads like a best selling novel, but it's for real. I bought three of these to give to friends who all give it rave reviews. What a wonderful person Mortenson is! A great role model. We need more like him in our society to achieve a more peaceful world.

Three cups of tea

This book describes the living conditions in remote locations on the border between Pakistan and Aghanistan and how one man is making an important change by building schools and releasing knowledge to replace ignorance. This will result in more stability in the region and a set-back for Al Cada and the Taliban.

a fine story, but it's not about politics or war

Three Cups of Tea : One Man's Mission to Fight Terrorism and Build Nations ... One School at a Time

I noticed this book because of its title: How to Fight Terrorism. I was intrigued, so I ordered a sample downloaded to my Kindle. It was a real page turner. Couldn't put it down. So, I ordered the book and read it.

Every now and then, politics made a brief appearance, but it was no big deal. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion. This is America, right? But the book isn't about politics.

Mortenson's story begins before 9/11 and continues after it. There's a before and after comparison that gets made. A vaguely political story gets to be a little bit about war also. But not how to fight it.

Essentially, the book is about a humanitarian mission that Mortenson makes as his life's work. How one interprets the significance of his work may be influenced by one's own political point of view.

The political point of view is what is being used to sell this book. For this reason, I'll deduct a star.

Mortenson gets nowhere in his mission over there if he was deemed to be on a political mission. He would have been rejected or even killed. So the story is being used for political consumption over here. Too bad. It's a great story in its own right. Let's not spoil it by politicizing it.
