Not much can be written about this amazing book without causing any controversy amongst the fellow Muslims therefore I would not comment on the content (which can clearly be judged by the cover).

It is a very detailed and scholarly researched account of the events following Muhammad's (PBUH) death. It is not a definitive account but challenges very sources being used in the narrative propagated by two major sects in Islam.

It would have been 5 stars had it not been so much difficult to read due to thesis style writing.
