Description

Hazleton approaches her subject with scrupulous respect… Vivid and immediate — Hari Kunzru ― New York Times

Hazleton sets her keen eye and her sculpted prose on one of the most fascinating and misunderstood figures in history… This is a wonderful book ― Reza Aslan, author of No God but God and How to Win a Cosmic War

The most readable, engaging study of Muhammad I have ever come across ― G. Willow Wilson, author of Alif the Unseen and The Butterfly Mosque

A rich biography… Those who read it will come away well prepared to understand the prophet whose message, 14 centuries later, is the creed of more than a billion and a half people. ― The San Francisco Chronicle

Richly detailed and beautifully written… [Hazleton] is able to do with words what is almost never attempted in pictures… indispensable. ― The Seattle Times
