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.
