The Life and Times of Muhammad

by John Bagot Glubb

Widely hailed as the best popular biography of Muhammad, and now reprinted with new cover, this is a must-read for everyone interested in Islam. "(Sir John) Glubb's long acquaintance with the Arabs has enabled him to make sense out of obscure legends and to bring long-dead battles to life. His book stings like caravan dust and sweeps forward like a charge of Bedouin cavalry".--NEWSWEEK.

Reviews

[John Peyton · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book helped me understand many pieces of Middle East history that are explained by their new religion that moved the masses away from idol worship. A must read to understand the Muslim people.
