A good over-view of the rise of Muhammad and his creed.
Time-Life's editors bring new life to the history of Islam from its beginnings. This was written before the events of the late 20th century involving conflict with Iraq and Iran, and are hence refreshingly free of prejudice and hostility. From 570 to 1928.
An excellent review of the rise of Islam.
