#1020
Title: The Missionary Position: Mother Teresa in Theory and Practice
Author: Christopher Hitchens
Publisher: Verso
Year: 1995/1997
98 pages

I don't have good ways to evaluate the claims here independently, but this has the flavor of 2/3 useful and 1/6 picayune, and 1/6 churlish. I found it helpful in its elaboration of Mother Teresa's stated positions and goals (which I could verify elsewhere), which aren't what most people seem to think they were.
