A rather not very well publicised battle in Muslim history ..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Talas
Even more interesting is that it seems to have sat out the scene fr the conversion fo the Turks. Those tribes later formed the Ottoman empire which carried Islam deep into Europe.
It looks like a truely significant battle. Can anyone give me a source of more information about it ?
