Review: Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time
Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time by Greg Mortenson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
An amazing tale of one of the supreme actors for positive change, American humanitarians, of our time, someone I put on the same level as Dr. Paul Farmer ([b:Mountains beyond Mountains: The Quest of Dr. Paul Farmer, a Man Who Would Cure the World|10235|Mountains beyond Mountains The Quest of Dr. Paul Farmer, a Man Who Would Cure the World|Tracy Kidder|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1320524223s/10235.jpg|1639628]). Mortenson's tale of transition from army medic and mountain climber and success beyond harsh odds made even worts by 9/11 and the War on Terror to promote basic education for children in Afghanistan and Pakistan (Waziristan and Baltistan!) gives me hope for our entire species.
