Three Cups of Deceit: How Greg Mortenson, Humanitarian Hero, Lost His Way

Three Cups of Deceit: How Greg Mortenson, Humanitarian Hero, Lost His Way - Jon Krakauer I'm not sure I can rate this yet. It's hard to read about and then rate the argument about the downfall of a man. Any man, no matter how good or ill his intentions were or are. I fall on the side of believing this writer's arguments as opposed to Greg Mortenson's stories. I suppose there might be something in that middle ground that favors both men a little bit. I'm not sure. But I certainly can't applaud someone who lies to make a buck for his good cause no matter how good he believes his cause to be. There is ample evidence of Mortenson's misconduct and outrageous lying. And I can't quite believe how many people are willing to overlook that misconduct just because the desecration of an idol or hero hurts a lot. Sometimes life hurts. A lot. Especially when heroes turn out to have clay feet.
