Three Cups of Tea: One Man’s Mission to Promote Peace One School at a Time
By Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin

A New York Times Bestseller, the book details Greg Mortenson’s journey after a failed 1993 climb on Pakistan’s K2 and his dedication to promote community-based education and literacy programs, especially for girls, in remote mountain regions of Pakistan and Afghanistan.  A military veteran, avid mountaineer, trained ER nurse, and now executive director of a non-profit organization, his story is aligned with one of Trinity’s key values of having “a serious commitment to respond to the opportunities and needs of society and self; which are the true marks of a liberally educated person” (Common Curriculum).
