Publisher's Summary:
This book examines how the military experience of three religious founders shaped their spiritual legacy.
It is one of the more startling facts of military history that the founders of three of the four "great religions" - Judaism, Buddhism, and Islam - were also accomplished field generals with extensive experience in commanding men in battle. One of these, Muhammad, fought eight battles and was wounded twice, once almost fatally. Another, Siddhartha Gautama (later to become the Buddha), witnessed so much battlefield carnage that he suffered a psychological collapse. Moses had become so much a "god-intoxicated" personality that it is a reasonable suspicion that he, like the Buddha, was murdered.
Indeed, had the experiences of these men in war not been so successful, it is quite possible that their achievements as religious leaders would never have occurred. For all three, war and religion were so closely intertwined in their personalities that it is difficult to discern where the influence of one ended and the other began.
This book attempts to explore the military lives of Moses, the Buddha, and Muhammad, and the role their war experiences played in their religious lives.

History is not a liberal conspiracy, it is just what really happened.
Dr. Richard A. Gabriel PhD is an outstanding author and an expert historian. This book is wonderfully written and unlike our poster who has an invisible friend, the book is based on historical fact and not mythical bible fantasy. The kookie christian reviewer starts by stating "I have not read the book"... I have read the book and several other books by Dr. Gabriel. They are very well researched books, written by a former soldier who knows history, and who knows the facts and the nitty-gritty down in the dirt reality of military operations and on being a soldier both for the modern world and ancient world.
As far as being anti-christian, all true historians are anti-christian. Christianity is not history it is a faith based religious mythology. The are very few (if any) historical facts in the bible. Deal with it. History is not a liberal conspiracy, it is just what really happened.
Christians Beware
I haven't read it and I'm not going too I have seen enough of this guy on the History Channel. This guy is the most anti-Christian professor I've seen on the TV screen so far. What disturbed me the most is why did not the HC didn't allow anyone to refute or place another opposite view on anything he said.
