The first selection for my History Book Club this school year was Three Cups of Tea: One Man’s Mission to Promote Peace…One School at a Time by Greg Mortenson. The book details Greg Mortenson’s years-long struggle to build schools in rural Pakistan and Afghanistan. His schools are meant especially to help educate girls in an area of the world where so many girls are illiterate.
The story is co-authored with a journalist (David Oliver Relin), and the book often reads like a narrative news story. Relin interviewed a vast number of Mortenson’s colleagues and its very interesting to hear their side of things and their take on different events in his life.
Overall, the book is fascinating and inspiring and makes me want to do something to make the world a better place. I would definitely suggest this book to anyone and everyone. Its awesome to read about a normal, everyday guy from Bozeman, Montana making a major difference in the world.
