Summary

Long maligned by scholars of Communist history, this volume lets Paul Levi's writings during the German Revolution speak for themselves.

In The Steps Of Rosa Luxemburg: Selected Writings Of Paul Levi Summary

In The Steps Of Rosa Luxemburg: Selected Writings Of Paul Levi: Historical Materialism, Volume 31 by Paul Levi

Paul Levi remains one of the most interesting and controversial figures in the early history of the Communist movement. As leader of the KPD after the murder of Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht, he successfully built up a party of a third of a million members, but by 1921 Comintern pressure for `Bolshevisation' forced Levi's resignation and expulsion.This is the first English edition of Levi's writings and thus fills a gap in the canon of German communist literature.
