The Murder of Rosa Luxemburg
by Klaus Gietinger
(Verso £14.99)
NEXT Tuesday marks the centenary of the murder in Berlin of two giants of international socialism, Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht and this book is the result of screenwriter and film director Klaus Gietinger spending years sifting the facts from the lies that have surrounded not only their deaths but the trials of their killers.
The situation in which Germany found itself in 1918 was both tumultuous and precarious. Defeated and humiliated in WWI, the country was faced with famine and confronted by spontaneous naval mutinies in Kiel and other ports.
