Drawing on early eyewitness sources and on history politics religion and psychology she renders him as a man in full in all his complexity and vitality. Hazleton's account follows the arc of Muhammad's rise from powerlessness to power from anonymity to renown from insignificance to lasting significance.

How did the pariah hounded out of Mecca turn exile into a new and victorious beginning? How did the outsider become the ultimate insider? Impeccably researched and thrillingly readable Hazleton's narrative creates vivid insight into a man navigating between idealism and pragmatism faith and politics nonviolence and violence rejection and acclaim. The First Muslim illuminates not only an immensely significant figure but his lastingly relevant legacy.
