Amongst your list are two books on the life of the Prophet :saws: by Lesley Hazelton, who has said the following about our beloved prophet :saws:
“6. He knew how to say he was wrong.
He acknowledged his own fallibility, most notably in the now infamous case of “the Satanic verses,” when he tried to mend the rift between himself and his opponents by acknowledging their totem gods as intercessors with the one supreme god. When he realized that he’d been tempted into betraying his principles and that there could be “no partners with God,” he had the courage and integrity to publicly declare his mistake.
7. His tragic failure came at the end.
He died without designating a successor. In the absence of a son, many thought it crucial that he make his wishes unequivocally clear, but though his final illness lasted 10 days (the duration and symptoms seem to indicate bacterial meningitis), he never did so. Ironically, the prophet of unity — one god, one people — thus paved the way for the divisiveness between Sunni and Shiite that persists today.”

Naoothu billah.
There seem to be quite a few books written by non-Muslims, and other people with non Muslim names on the list, who it is not clear if they are a Muslims or not. Posted in the new Muslims section, I would have concerns about new Muslims learning about Islam from non-Muslim sources.
