Who is Malcolm Muggeridge from The Missionary Position: Mother Teresa in Theory and Practice and what is their importance?

Malcolm Muggeridge is a journalist and television personality who makes a documentary film about Mother Teresa released in 1969, which he follows up with a book about her. These two relatively early devotional works on the life of the nun are largely responsible for starting the cult of Mother Teresa that soon escalates to a general belief among Catholics and non-Catholics that she is a saintly woman, Hitchens argues.
