Purchase options and add-ons

The popular tendency is to defy myths, gurus and personalities without investigating the claims thoroughly. Mother Teresa is one such name. Does Mother Teresa deserve her reputation as the most charitable person who ever lived ? This book makes for a gripping but disconcerting read.

Editorial Reviews

About the Author

Dr Aroup Chatterjee was born and brought up in Calcutta. He now lives and works (as a physician) in London. He was, if anything, positively inclined towards Mother Teresa while he was living in Calcutta, though he knew little about her. Upon coming to the West he was appalled at the Teresan mythology and at the gruesome image that his home-city had in the world. he has done research on Mother Teresa for over twenty-five years and can be called the world's foremost authority on the late nun. He has appeared numerous times on BBC and other world media to discuss the subject. He is married and has three children.

Now this is a book written by a true dyed-in-the-wool journalist. He presents all the FACTS, even if there happen to be ones that are unpleasant and do not demonize Mother as much as she deserves to be. He makes his positions known, but does not ever approach things like statistical comparisons with confirmation bias. The amount of meticulous interviewing, collecting of detailed facts, and organization of such is impressive and all for our benefit. You will close this book much wiser and appreciative for knowing the truth behind this wretched con-artist.

If you didn't like Mother Teresa: The Missionary Position by Christopher Hitchens because it seemed too much of an outright assault on her character, you will enjoy this. If you found Hitch's pamphlet lacking (merely about the company she keeps and who she took money from), this will fully enlighten you on her behavior, thought pattern, ambitions and the incredible publicist she was.

I would recommend this for everyone: those who know Agnes Bojaxhiu, and those who think they do.

Let the truth be told of this "Angel of Death"

Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2018

Verified Purchase

Few know what Mother Teresa and her order of nuns have been up to over the years and the Church would have people believe it's all good, charitable work. However, it's far from the truth when the truth of her organization is allowed to come forth into the light. From Christopher Hitchens to Mary Johnson, first-hand accounts of the evil nature of what has happened come to light quickly and those who have an open mind to look into it further will find that she was far from "saintly" during her life.

Not the Western public image

Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2018

This is a book about Mother Theresa and the Missionaries of Charity in India written by a man who grew up in Calcutta and now lives in the UK. What precipitated this book was how shocked he was by the image Westerners have of Calcutta and of Mother Theresa. According to the author, Calcutta is a thriving Indian city who has lost billions of tourism dollars due to the image Mother Theresa promoted of people by the thousands dying in the streets. He also states numerous examples of her organization being less than charitable.

Great book. Provides the unvarnished and unbiased truth surrounding the myth that is Teresa. These myths were provided both by Teresa and the people using her for their twisted agendas. Gee, what else is new?

Fantastic and 100 percent true.

Fantastic book! As Chatterjee says, even I never saw a Missionary of Charity worker anywhere in Calcutta in 4 years and certainly they were never to be even heard of during disasters. Never saw them do any social work. The first responders were always Ramakrishna Mission and Bharat Sevashram Sangh and the RSS. But, as they have no backing from the Vatican, no one knows of them!

Un altro mattone contro il falso mito di Madre Teresa

Avevo già letto il libro di Christopher Hitchens, ma questo ha messo altri tasselli ad una storia che già conoscevo. Tutti dovrebbero sapere la verità, specialmente riguardo i cosiddetti "santi" della chiesa cattolica di Roma. Unica pecca: non esiste il testo in italiano.

Great book! Unvarnished TRUTH about the EVIL "Mother" Theresa!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 30, 2021

Verified Purchase

Just amazing ... the TRUTH about "Mother" Theresa's Evil Empire! Exposes the hideous and cruel conditions in her -- so called -- clinics. This disgusting woman, and the governments and popes who enabled her, conned hundreds of millions of dollars/pounds/euros from ordinary people in the pretence of helping the poor. In fact, she spent almost NOTHING on the poor ... all the donations went into building convents and "converting" poor teenage girls to Catholicism. This book should be compulsory reading for anyone who thinks this horrible, murderous Con-Artist was actually a "mother" or "saint" or even a slightly good person. The fact that the Catholic Church and popes support making this fascist a Saint (although THAT is a meaningless declaration, in itself) just demonstrates the total moral bankruptcy of THAT nasty organisation.

Ach?

Heading to Kolkata, or India? Read this.

Reviewed in Germany on December 18, 2016

Verified Purchase

An important and well-researched book that should be read by all residents of Kolkata, and by all those visiting this marvellously interesting and diverse city with naive stereotypes in their heads. The reader does indeed learn quite a bit about Mother Teresa, now a "saint" according to Roman-Catholic protocol. Just as importantly, perhaps even more so, Mr Chatterjee's book reflects how easily one's ideas and beliefs can be manipulated - as has happened to millions of people in the "Western" part of the world who would consider themselves educated, intelligent, and highly impartial.
