Based on previously unknown archival materials, the book traces Adolf Ioffe's mission, on behalf of the Bolshevik Central Committee, in early 1919 Lithuania and Belarus. Ioffe acted as Moscow's de facto viceroy in Lithuania and Belarus, also directing their foreign, internal, and military affairs. He wrote diplomatic notes on behalf of the republics, took hostages from among Lithuanian nationalists and Polish bourgeois, and ordered a military offensive against Kaunas. Yet, Ioffe's mission is virtually unknown to historians.
