Martin Lings did a great book: Muhammad: His Life Based on the Earliest Sources
You can get it from Amazon.
That particular book is by an orientalist. Western Orientalists will distort the true portrayal of Islam. It is better if we stick to books by Islamic authors. There are many good books on the Seerah of the Prophet that are available from Muslim bookshops or over the internet.
An award winning book and easy to read,

I beg to differ my brother.. to my knowledge Martin Lings is a revert and a devoted muslim, and his book about prophet is the best book I've ever read in this topic. I must say that I was truly inspired by this book and my love, admiration to prophet made a peak with this masterpiece. He reflects everything as they are in a scientific, objective approach. He lets the reader decide how a great person Prophet (Pbuh) was... I strongly recommend it to everyone...
