The Heirs of Prophet Mohammdd

Sometime back I read the book The Heirs of the Prophet Muhammad: And the Roots of the Sunni-Shia Schism by Barnaby Rogerson.

This book gave a detailed account of the lives of Prophet Mohammad, his wifes and caliphs that followed him. It finally ends with how life of sons of Caliph Ali - Hasan and Husayn.

The book also provides some level of details of the differing perspectives existing among Shia's and Sunni's about the last hour of Prophet Mohammad's death.

Overall I rate it as an exciting book and worth reading for all those who are interested in knowing the history of Islam and its progress as a mainstream religion.
