This is an account of Mohammad's life and is also the study of the impact of an ideology upon a society. Seventh century Arabia, although fragmented and in many respects primitive, was moving towards a settled economy. The ideology of Islam - calling for submission to the will of God - moulded this nation into unity and into a conquering force which, within a hundred years of Mohammad's death, subdued an area stretching from the Pyrenees to the borders of China.

About the Author:
Maxime Rodinson was for many years a professor at the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes at the Sorbonne. He served in Syria during World War II and stayed for seven years in Lebanon, working as a professor in a Muslim high school and as an official in the French Department of Antiquities for Syria and Lebanon. He returned to Paris in 1947 to take charge of Oriental printed books in the National Library, and from 1950 to 1951 he published Moyen Orient, a political monthly on the Middle East. American editions of his books include Israel and the Arabs and Islam and Capitalism.
