Three Cups of Tea
Watching C-Span interview with Greg Mortenson, the author of this book, fascinating background. Brian Lamb mentioned that it has been on the best seller list for 80 weeks but had a slow start until the paperback came out. Greg said the publisher had insisted that the subtitle needed indicate the story related to terrorism, or it wouldn’t sell. which was not the point of the book. He got them to agree that if it came out in paperback it would use his preferred subtitle which related to Peace through Education–I can’t quote the exact wording. It then took off. He said hundreds of copies have now been ordered by various departments of our government to be used in training, which has been his point for 15 years.
