Muhammad: A Biography of the Prophet

This is an excellent book. It is rare that a person who has influenced the development of nearly all modern civilizations on Earth, especially one from such an early part of history, receives such a thorough account of his life. History is fortunate to have non-scriptural accounts of the life of Muhammad; and, it is equally unfortunate that we do not possess similar accounts of Jesus of Nazareth. I find Karen Armstrongs prose mostly engaging and clear, and the organization of the book is sensible. I do see how some readers might mistake Armstrong for a Muslim apologist, but only because modern ignorance of Muhammed's life, and Islam in general is so ubiquitous. Frankly, though, Armstrong is correct in assuming most readers of her text are in need of such fleshing out of some of the issues modern humans face in understanding Islam. I know many people who should read this book, and many, many more who will refuse to do so.
