Two Queens of Baghdad
The Abbasid dynasty was perhaps the greatest in Arab history, and the greatest of the Abbasid rulers was undoubtedly Harun al-Rashid. His mother, Khaizuran, and wife Zubaidah are the 'two queens' of this book. Abbott recounts the lives of these two women, who flouted the taboos of Muslim society and made their imprint on a key period of early Islamic history.
Harun Al-Rashid and the World of the Thousand and One Nights
Known in the West as a cultural patron and as the ruler who sent exotic gifts to Charlemagne, Harun al-Rashid was also a soldier who waged war against the Byzantine empire, and a politician who often dealt ruthlessly with the religious and social revolts which threatened his far-flung kingdom. A symbol of the fabled Orient and the caliph portrayed inThe Thousand and One Nights, he is shown living grandly in his palace in Baghdad, surrounded by his wives, concubines, musicians and learned men, but is not merely a legendary figure. He was the son of a Yemenite slave who carved a path to power, very probably by poisoning the reigning caliph, her elder son. Harun reigned for a quarter of a century, and was the most famous caliph of the Abbasid dynasty. Through Arab chronicles, the author corrects our vision of `Harun the Good`, and gives a remarkable account of his development as a ruler of an empire that was shaken by religious and social insurrections.

The History of al-Ṭabarī Vol. 30
This volume of al-Ṭabarī's History covers nearly a quarter of a century, and after covering the very brief caliphate of al-Hādī, concentrates on that of Hārūn al-Rashīd. During these years, the caliphate was in a state of balance with its external foes; the great enemy, Christian Byzantium, was regarded with respect by the Muslims, and the two great powers of the Near East treated each other essentially as equals, while the Caucasian and Central Asian frontiers were held against pressure from the Turkish peoples of Inner Eurasia. The main stresses were internal, including Shī'ite risings on behalf of the excluded house of 'Alī, and revolts by the radical equalitarian Khārijites; b...
