    'Here 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' - Haji Ali Korphe Village Chief Karakoram mountains Pakistan. In 1993 after a terrifying and disastrous attempt to climb K2 a mountaineer called Greg Mortenson drifted cold and dehydrated into an impoverished Pakistan village in the Karakoram Mountains. Moved by the inhabitants' kindness he promised to return and build a school. "Three Cups of Tea" is the story of that promise and its extraordinary outcome. Over the next decade Mortenson built not just one but fifty-five schools - especially for girls - in remote villages across the forbidding and breathtaking landscape of Pakistan and Afghanistan just as the Taliban rose to power. His story is at once a riveting adventure and a testament to the power of the humanitarian spirit.
