It's hard to find such a biography of Muhammad, but I hope this one can be of help: Leslie Hazleton's The First Muslim: The Story of Muhammad

Edit: If you really wanna dig deeper, I'd suggest the Alfred Guillaume translation of Ibn Ishaq's The Life of Muhammad. This translation puts back some of the "cuts" made by the later editors of the biography (this being the quasi-official Sira). Caveat lector: this is difficult reading.

Try a book by Vernon O Egger: A history of the Muslim world to 1405

It was used in one of my courses on the history of the Islamic Middle East.

Or if you want, you can read the first biography of Muhammad by Ibn Ishaq.

It one of the sources used on understanding his life by every scholar. However since you are asking about biases you should note that the only surviving copy of this work is a self proclaimed redaction and editing of it by Ibn Hisham.

You may want to read this book the life of Muhammad . It says a lot when the person who is given credit for the beginning of Islam has an 800 page historical book on his military campaigns. From a military standpoint it makes sense to take such views because you don't want subordinates betraying your ideology.

you also need to read Sira and then some Hadith.As Quran and Sira equally play huge role.here is authentic copy http://www.amazon.com/Life-Muhammad-I-Ishaq/dp/0196360331/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420744241&sr=8-1&keywords=sira+ibn+ishaq

I just can't be bothered writing you a wikipedia article, simply because you don't have the required background knowledge to follow my meaning.

Why not read a book instead? This one is interesting enough.
