His campaigns, military thought, and insurgent strategy"An excellent analysis of Muhammad as a general, placing his battles within the context of military history, and a good introduction to the life of the founder of Islam."--David Cook, author of Understanding Jihad"Provides an essential understanding to those wanting to know the history that shapes modern insurgencies."--Maj. Christopher Johnson, U.S. Army, policy advisor to the Deputy Assistant Secretary of DefenseThere are many biographies of the Prophet, and they tend to fall into three categories: pious works that emphasize the virtues of the early Islamic community, general works for non-Muslim or non-specialist readers, and source-critical works that grapple with historiographical problems inherent in early Islamic history. In The Generalship of Muhammad, Russ Rodgers charts a new path by merging original sources with the latest in military theory to examine Muhammad's military strengths and weaknesses. Incorporating military, political, and economic analyses, Rodgers focuses on Muhammad's use of insurgency warfare in seventh-century Arabia to gain control of key cities such as Medina. Seeking to understand the operational aspects of these world-changing battles, he provides battlefield maps and explores the supply and logistic problems that would have plagued any military leader at the time. Rodgers explains how Muhammad organized his forces and gradually built his movement against sporadic resistance from his foes. He draws from the hadith literature to shed new light on the nature of the campaigns. He examines the Prophet's intelligence network and the employment of what would today be called special operations forces. And he considers the possibility that Muhammad received outside support to build and maintain his movement as a means to interdict trade routes between the Byzantine Empire and the Sasanid Persians.

Worthy
Size: Small, Color: Calypso Blue
I have to say, I seldom receive something thru Amazon that's 100% worthy! I wear F P & AE & these look just like the model! I usually wear a M, but knowing how fp sizing is, I got the S. Fits perfect with even a bit of room. Im 5'3", 127lbs, 27 waist. Definitely great with flats, but I'm not sure yet with any other than tennis shoes. The paint splatter on mine are less than picture....no complaint here. They have a bit of stretch, I like real jeans, so I can live with it. They are soft & actually made well. Only downside to this order, Amazon made me purchased over what I wanted to, to get it by promise date, never happen & getting very common with that trick, not appreciated, so beware you may not get them on promise date

Way to short, cute, but short
Size: Medium, Color: Green Multi Combo
I would give these a 5 star but they were 3 inches to short. So cute though. Will try a large to see if that makes a difference. Im 5'7" 147lbs. Everything else was a great fit but serious highwaters
