2011.9.6 NEW ARRIVALS
AUTHOR : Jon Krakauer
GENRE : Nonfiction
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. This book is a passionately argued plea for the truth, and a tragic tale of good intentions gone very wrong.
