Description

Explore the transformation of the Abbasid revolutionary movement into a functioning imperial government through Jacob Lassner's comprehensive analysis of the regime's formative years.

The Princeton Legacy Library edition preserves the original scholarly text, making this important work on Near Eastern history accessible once again to students and researchers interested in understanding how revolutionary movements crystallised into established imperial structures during the medieval Islamic period.
