During the first decades of the twentieth century, Rosa Luxemburg
was the leader of the workers' movement in Poland and Germany. She
made a remarkable contribution to socialist theory and practice,
yet her legacy remains in dispute. In this book Norman Geras
interrogates and refutes the myths that have developed around her
work. She was an opponent of socialist participation in the First
World War and, as Geras shows, her views on socialist strategy in
Russia were closer to Lenin's than any other leader's. Geras
explores the development of Luxemburg's critique in the period
following the war and demonstrates how her thought is distinct from
the social democratic or anarchist theories into which it is often
subsumed. Geras brings new light to bear on one of the most
misrepresented figures in radical history, illustrating her
inspiring lack of complacency and her commitment to questioning
those in authority on both the Right and the Left.
