I recently listened to this book on CD and was pleasantly surprised at how it was not about forwarding the 'official' story of 9/11 as it appeared to be at one part in the book, but rather it presented what he learned as it unfolded in his life. It didn't go too into that, which is fine, but it did give a bit more perspective from that region of the world without making anybody really the 'bad guys'. Just showing more the humanity of all and how true intentions and actions to help are respected and appreciated. I highly recommend this read/listen, it is a very engrossing and informative story.

“Three Cups of Tea is one of the most remarkable adventure stories of our time. Greg Mortenson’s dangerous and difficult quest to build schools in the wildest parts of Pakistan and Afghanistan is not only a thrilling read, it’s proof that one ordinary person, with the right combination of character and determination, really can change the world.” -Tom Brokaw
