This blog is written by a Christian living in the Middle East. My desire is to discuss Islam and Christianity in ways that will be helpful for people of the other religion.

'Understanding Muhammad' by Ali Sina
Here is a book that looks very interesting, written by an ex-Muslim who is trying to analyze the pyschology of the Prophet.
dealing with written document about islam, here are exerpt of the work of a french monk whose thesis was about the beginning of islam in the light of the most recent scholars discovering. Summary : http://www.lemessieetsonprophete.com/annexes/presentation-en.htm
I've read bits and pieces thanks to Google Reader but unfortunately never the whole book. I found his treatment of Islam and its prophet to be a bit abrasive and uncharitable at times, but what I read of the psychoanalysis seemed very sound and well documented. It makes a lot of sense. I'd recommend it.
