The Arab conquests in Central Asia

The Arab conquests in Central Asia

This work was presented to the University of London in December 1921, under the title of “The Arab Conquest of Transoxania “, as a thesis for the degree of Master of Arts, and was approved by the Senate in January 1922, for publication as such. In its present form the work has been largely rewritten and revised. It makes no claim to present a complete historical account of the Arabs in Central Asia, but is intended solely as a critical study of the authorities in greater detail than has hitherto been made. Much is therefore omitted because it has already been dealt with in the standard histories.
