Greg Mortenson, the bestselling author of "Three Cups of Tea," is a
man who has built a global reputation as a selfless humanitarian
and children's crusader, and he's been nominated for the Nobel
Peace Prize. But, as Jon Krakauer demonstrates in this extensively
researched and penetrating book, he is not all that he appears to
be.
Based on wide-ranging interviews with former employees, board
members, and others who have intimate knowledge of Mortenson and
his charity, the Central Asia Institute, "Three Cups of Deceit"
uncovers multiple layers of deception behind Mortenson's public
image. Was his crusade really inspired by a desire to repay the
kindness of villagers who nursed him back to health when he became
lost on his descent down K2? Was he abducted and held for eight
days by the Taliban? Has his charity built all of the schools that
he has claimed? This book is a passionately argued plea for the
truth, and a tragic tale of good intentions gone very wrong.
100% of Jon Krakauer's proceeds from the sale of "Three Cups of
Deceit" will be donated to the "Stop Girl Trafficking" project at
the American Himalayan Foundation
(www.himalayan-foundation.org/live/project/stopgirltrafficking).
