Bismarck
The Iron Chancellor

Bismarck

The Iron Chancellor
by Volker Ullrich & Prince Ferdinand von Bismarck

Otto von Bismarck (1815-98) has gone down in the history as 'Iron Chancellor', a reactionary and a militarist whose unification of Germany in 1871 set Europe on the road to the disaster of the First World War. Yet as this comprehensive study shows, the real Bismarck was a much more complicated figure than this traditional stereotype suggests.

Rosa Luxemburg

Rosa Luxemburg


by Harry Harmer

In a world in which capitalism is presented as all that exists, the writer, speaker and agitator Rosa Luxemburg - murdered in Berlin by an unholy alliance of Right and Left in 1919 - is the last heroine of revolutionary socialism. Did Luxemburg, a contemporary of Lenin and Trotsky, offer a genuine alternative, a libertarian and democratic socialism that might have saved the 20th century from scourges of depression, dictatorship and war? Or was she the lifelong victim of an illusion, a misreading of history that led her inexorably to a bloody death? This biography takes a fresh view, re-examining Luxemburg's tempestuous career and complex personal life, posing new questions about her politics and her dream of socialism.
