Given its peripheral location, the history of the 'eastern frontier' in this period has often …

    This chapter gives an account of all the principal political events in Iran under the 'Abbāsids and then discusses the long-term significance of these events for the history of that country; but it should never be forgotten that the 'Abbāsids intended to create and for a time nearly succeeded in creating a universal Islamic empire.
