A new TPM Featured Book: Muhammad: Prophet and Statesman by W. Montgomery Watt.
To specialists, it's no doubt dated, published as it was in 1961. But it's a short, concise and elegant account of Muhammad's life, the birth of Islam, and the religion's first decades.
An unadorned narrative with lots of informative detail -- I found it an excellent book and recommend it highly.
