Description
Among his many books, perhaps none have sparked more outrage than The Missionary Position, Christopher Hitchens’s meticulous and searing study of the life and deeds of Mother Teresa–and it is now available as a Signal deluxe paperback. A Nobel Peace Prize recipient canonized by the Catholic Church in 2003, Mother Teresa of Calcutta was celebrated by heads of state and adored by millions for her work on behalf of the poor. In his measured critique, Hitchens asks only that Mother Teresa’s reputation be judged by her actions–not the other way around. With characteristic elan and rhetorical dexterity, Hitchens eviscerates the fawning cult of Teresa, recasting the Albanian missionary in a light she has never before been seen in.

"Convincing…Hitchens argues his case with consummate style." New York Times Book Review "A dirty job but someone had to tdo it. By the end of this elegantly written, brilliantly argued piece of polemic, it is not looking good for Mother Teresa." The Sunday Times (UK) "If there is a hell, Hitchens is going there for this book." New York Press |
