Ken: A good biography of Luxemburg is "Rosa Luxemburg : A Life." by
Elzbieta Ettinger. published by Pandora ISBN o-86358-261-3.

Trotsky's "On Lenin,notes towards a biography" published by Harrap ISBN o
245 50302 1. is quite good. Published first in 1924 just after Lenins death
it is a first hand account though not a completed biography which Trotsky
intended to do but never did.
