Description
Michael Cook provides an in-depth account of the life and teachings of Muhammad, drawing on traditional Muslim sources. This biography questions the historical justification of the traditional picture of Muhammad's life.
The story of Muhammad has inspired one-sixth of the world's population, yet his life remains shrouded in mystery. Cook's analysis seeks to separate fact from tradition, offering a nuanced understanding of this pivotal figure in Islamic history.
