Publisher's Summary
In The Truth about Muhammad, New York Times best-selling author and Islam expert Robert Spencer offers an honest and telling portrait of the founder of Islam - perhaps the first such portrait in half a century - unbounded by fear and political correctness, unflinching, and willing to face the hard facts about Muhammad's life that continue to affect our world today. Spencer details Muhammad's development from a preacher of hellfire and damnation into a political and military leader who expanded his rule by force of arms, promising his warriors luridly physical delights in Paradise if they were killed in his cause. He explains how the Qur'an's teaching on warfare against unbelievers developed, with constant war to establish the hegemony of Islamic law as the last stage.
There have been other biographies of the Prophet of Islam, a few written by authors living in non-Muslim countries (Yusuf Islam's splendid audio work The Life Of The Prophet springs instantly to mind here), but not that many by non-Muslims. And it is purely because Robert Spencer is not a Muslim that he is able to discuss, without fear and without any degree of 'political correctness', aspects of the holy man's life that many, both believers and unbelievers, hitherto did not know.
Mr. Spencer is no stranger to controversy, as his books and his 'Jihadwatch' Web site speak for themselves, yet he manages never to pull his punches. He takes quotations from the Qur'an, and other works held in high regard, and uses them to present different sides of the Prophet's character: his skill as a military leader, his views on other religions, his pressure and agitation for constant war against unbelievers. It's a challenging work, and will probably win him fans and sworn enemies in equal measure.
James Adams reads the audiobook, endowed with a mellow English accent, yet tackling the Arabian pronunciation with skill and aplomb. The English accent surprised me, since Robert Spencer is American, but being a straight factual work I believe a good voice from either side of the Atlantic would suffice. I listened in one sitting; the near seven hours passing remarkably swiftly (always a good sign) and the narration and audio quality were of consistently high quality. Simply an all-round excellent book.

Reveals the sinister aspects in balance with humanity aspects of Islam
The hatred embedded deep in Islam for non-muslims and the myth of tolerant Islamic religion is brought out well in this book.Good, for learning about Islam, why it cannot be reformed, and why it is best to stay away from it....all these questions get answered.

Descriptive but not perfect
I was looking for something that could give me all the facts about the Prophet’s life, and not opinions and interpretations. This book does a fairly good job and better than most content you will find online. He gives all the necessary caveats and context needed to understand such a touchy topic. However, towards the end, it gets into a recommendation mode, which I don’t feel should have been the objective of this book.

Insightful but not without flaws.
While the book is insightful indeed and informs one, especially one without any or limited knowledge of the religion, about the various aspects it doesn't seem to do justice to the people practicing or the religion itself.

Insightful
Gives author's insights and understanding of his research. Thought provoking. Narrated nicely. As usual the final decider is the reader.

Honest and unbiased
This book is an honest and unbiased work on the Prophet and the most intolerant "religion".
