Description

The Court of the Caliphs by Hugh Kennedy

The Caliphs formed the model for succeeding Muslim regimes. From military conquests to patronizing poetry, building palaces, and the formal structure of the court – harems, viziers, eunuchs and the tales of the Arabian Nights – the Abbasid Caliphate and offered a historical ideal for later empires and their rulers to aspire to. Yet the true story of this fascinating empire has been forgotten outside the academic world. And it deserves to be rescued: it is an epic story in every sense, with larger-than-life rulers, exotic slave girls, inventive tortures, and enough court intrigue to frighten a Borgia.
