"Muhammed" is a captivating narrative based on facts about a man who, under divine inspiration, managed to unite feuding compatriots, the tribes of the Arabian desert, over a span of twenty years to create a unified warring religion, which is recognized today by millions of people, and to lay the foundation for a warring Islamic state that once extended from North Africa to India, continuing to influence the fate of many nations even after its dissolution.Mohammed Essad Bey, also known as Leo Noussimbaum (c. 1905-1943), was a German writer born in the Caucasus, who authored not only this biography of Muhammad but also the biographies of other famous individuals (such as Stalin and Nicholas II), as well as the novel "Oil and Blood in the Orient."
