The Missionary Position: Mother Teresa in Theory and Practice by Christopher Hitchens
4.0
This is a very short book about how Mother Teresa really wasn't so saintly after all. It's not a mean book, it's completely based on fact. Mother Teresa visited despots, dictators and received large sums of money that she apparently did not spend on the poor - but that would have been enough to set up a very modern hospital in Calcutta. Her centers for dying including not giving enough pain killers and not saving children and youngsters from curable diseases. Plus being vehemently against birth control, even though reducing the number of children in poor families increases the well being of the entire family. No, she wasn't so saintly after all.
