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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReviews:\u003cbr\u003e“Here (in Pakistan and Afghanistan)”, we drink three cups of tea to do business; the first you are a stranger, the second you become a friend, and the third, you join our family, and for our family we are prepared to do anything – even die.”\u003cbr\u003e   - Haji Ali, Korphe Village Chief, Karakoram Mountains, Pakistan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Mortenson’s mission is admirable, his conviction unassailable, his territory exotic and his timing excellent.”\u003cbr\u003e   - The Washington Post\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“If we Americans are to learn from our mistakes… we need to listen to Greg Mortenson.”\u003cbr\u003e  - Diane Sawyer, Good Morning America\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Laced with drama, danger, romance, and good deeds, Mortenson’s story serves as a reminder of he power of a good idea and the strength inherent in one person’s passionate determination to persevere against enormous obstacles.”\u003cbr\u003e    - The Christian Science Monitor\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction in Mr. Mortenson’s Orbit\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
