About This Book

The author compiles a meticulous, case-by-case account of political homicides in Germany during the chaotic postwar years, presenting individual dossiers alongside statistical tables and documentary evidence to cover killings attributed to both left and right factions. The text interweaves chronological listings with sociological and legal analysis, examining public opinion, official responses, the organization of political violence, and the prosecution or impunity of perpetrators and the plight of victims' families. Methodological remarks emphasize use of court records, witness testimony, and contemporary reports, and the work persistently documents patterns of unresolved cases and shortcomings in judicial accountability.

About the Author

Gumbel, Emil Julius portrait

Emil Julius Gumbel

Emil Julius Gumbel was a German mathematician and political activist known for his critical examination of political violence in the early 20th century. His notable work, "Vier Jahre Politischer Mord" (Four Years of Political Murder), explores the political assassinations and violence that plagued Germany during the tumultuous years following World War I. Gumbel's writings reflect his deep concern for social justice and his commitment to exposing the darker aspects of political power. His contributions to literature and political thought remain significant in understanding the historical context of political extremism.
