NEW YORK — A “60 Minutes” investigation alleges that the multimillion seller of “Three Cups of Tea” is filled with inaccuracies and that co-author Greg Mortenson’s charitable organization has taken credit for building schools that don’t exist.
The report, which will air Sunday on CBS, cites “Into the Wild” author Jon Krakauer as among the doubters of Mortenson’s story of being lost in 1993 while mountain climbing in rural Pakistan and stumbling upon the village of Korphe, where the kindness of local residents inspired him to build a school.
The “60 Minutes” story draws upon observations from the porters who joined Mortenson on his trip in Pakistan and dispute his being lost. They say he only visited Korphe a year later.
