Mission to Tashkent is a memoir by British spy, explorer, and botanist Frederick Marshman Bailey. The book recounts Bailey's adventures in Turkestan between 1918 and 1920, during which he initially gathered intelligence on Bolshevik intentions as an official representative of the British government before continuing his work as a covert agent. One of the primary objectives of Bailey's mission was to collect information on those resisting British rule in Afghanistan and India, as well as to persuade the Bolsheviks to either continue their war against Germany or, at the very least, refrain from aiding the Central Powers.
