What is Shakyamuni Buddha : a narrative biography about?

Buddhism ranks with Christianity and Islam as one of the three great universal religions, and a growing number of books about its teachings are available. But until now there has been no non-doctrinal introductory biography of its founder, Shakyamuni, the historical Buddha. The present book has been prepared especially for modern readers interested in the life of the Indian prince turned sage who founded this vital, practical religion some twenty-five hundred years ago. Nikkyo Niwano, winner of the 1979 Templeton Foundation Prize for Progress in Religion, was president of Rissho Kosei-kai, an organization of Buddhist lay people than numbers over 5 million members throughout the world.
