Out of all of Christopher Hitchens's writings, none has perhaps provoked greater controversy than The Missionary Position, which is a detailed analysis of Mother Teresa's life and actions.
Mother Teresa of Calcutta, who won the Nobel Peace Prize and was beatified by the Catholic Church in 2003, was revered by millions of people and honored by heads of state for her efforts on behalf of the underprivileged. Hitchens just requests that Mother Teresa's reputation be assessed based on her deeds, not the other way around, in his calm criticism.
Hitchens dismantles the fawning cult of Teresa with his trademark elan and rhetorical skill, redefining the Albanian missionary as a fraudulent, autocratic, and megalomaniacal agent of the rich who, for years, resisted efforts to eradicate poverty and mingled, for financial gain, with despots and white-collar criminals around the globe.
