There is an excellent book called "The Court of the Caliphs - When Baghdad Ruled the Muslim World" by Hugh Kennedy (Pub: UK by Weidenfled & Nicolson 2004).
It focuses on the Abbasid Caliphs from the time of the revolution in 750 till the death of Muqtadir c.932.
"For my part, I adhere to the maxim of antiquity: The throne is a glorious sepulchre."
