Award-winning journalist David Oliver Relin has collaborated on this spellbinding account of Mortenson's incredible accomplishments in a region where Americans are often feared and hated. In pursuit of his goal, Mortenson has survived kidnapping, fatwas issued by enraged mullahs, repeated death threats, and wrenching separations from his wife and children. But his success speaks for itself. At last count, his Central Asia Institute had built 55 schools. Three Cups of Tea is at once an unforgettable adventure and the inspiring true story of how one man really is changing the world, one school at a time.

It is inspirational and surprising, but at times his frustration is palpable. He is a doer and as always goes with those that do, there is a large amount of criticism leveled against him. (Nothing bothers me more than the non-doer armchair quarterbacks but it's part of the culture we live in.)
This book is a great introduction to the outlying tribal cultures in Pakistan and Afghanistan and there is an excellent explanation and examples of Pashtunwali / Lokhay Warkawa as also described in Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell.
Having trekked in Nepal on my way to Everest Base Camp this really brought back memories.
