Very glad to be reading this Armstrong book. My understanding the life of the prophet Muhammad and Medina was that Mohamed left Mecca and returned with an army to capture Mecca after several decades. This sheds allot more light on that period, and I'm interested to see what actually does happen when Islam gains control of Mecca.
I also found it very interesting the Islam grows and modifies itself over the life of the Prophet. Very distinctly when he changes the direction of prayer for Muslims from Jerusalem to Mecca.
