That's a very flashy name for a book that's basically just about the historicity of the Koran. I have read a bunch of books about how the New Testament was assembled and picked over by early Christian church; this book is a very interesting look at early sources about Mohammed and how he fit into the landscape of the late antiquity Middle East, and how/when the Koran was put together. I enjoy the way Tom Holland writes; all his stuff is good.
