I'm sorry to say that I think everything in this book is accurate. I read Mortenson's 'Three Cups of Tea' several years ago (and have since given it to many high school students to read), and I loved it. It was beautiful and inspiring and touching. And largely made up. I picked up Krakauer's book as I was so impressed with his journalism in 'Into Thin Air'. He comes across in both books as a reliable and well-researched writer. After reading 'Three Cups of Deceit', I find it hard to believe I didn't notice how much Mortenson's book flowed like fiction. There are so many disturbing facts in this expose, but what bothers me most is how Mortenson has misused money that so many were eager to give. We talk about racism and prejudice toward Muslims, but when Mortenson seemed to be helping and giving, people opened up their pockets and let the money flow (to the tune of $20 million in 2007 alone). How many of those people will give to the next Muslim project? I left this book sad, a bit disheartened, and glad that I worked with Wycliffe, an upstanding organization whose president raises his own salary apart from donations to the organization.
