The period covered in this volume is one of the most tumultuous periods of Islamic history. In it, al- abar details with great success the intricate events that shaped real political power in S marr and Baghdad during the middle of the ninth century, laying bare the dynamics through which the army generals--who were mainly of Central Asian Turkish extraction--consolidated their grip on the caliphate.

A discounted price is available when purchasing the entire 39-volume History of al- abar set. Contact SUNY Press for more information.
