Glossary¶
This is a glossary, providing concise definitions for key organisations, newspapers, and individuals referenced in the book. It covers German political parties (SPD, USPD, KPD, Spartacus League), trade unions (ADGB), paramilitary groups (Freikorps, SA), and international bodies (Second and Third Internationals, Left Opposition). The individuals section profiles major figures in German and Polish social democracy, including Rosa Luxemburg, Karl Liebknecht, Karl Kautsky, and Leon Trotsky, along with many lesser-known activists and opponents. It is a reference tool for identifying the many historical actors and institutions discussed in the main text.
