Missionary

In this frank and damning exposé of the Teresa cult, Hitchens details the nature and limits of one woman\'s mission to help the world\'s poor.

He probes the source of the heroic status bestowed upon an Albanian nun whose only declared wish was to serve God.

He asks whether Mother Teresa\'s good works answered any higher purpose than the need of the world\'s privileged to see someone, somewhere, doing something for the Third World.
