Recently while I was researching stuff for an AAR over at paradoxplaza, I came across a Korean alternate history novel published in 2010 titled "Stalin's Letter". The premise is that the USSR vetoed the UN involvement in the Korean War, and after secret negotiations between the US and USSR, the US drops 41 nukes in both DPRK and PRC on October 1st, 1951. The ultimate result would be the establishment of the East Asian Federation and "Free China".

The story itself goes between 1951 and 2010, where we have a Korean researcher attempting to look into why the USSR just stood by as the US started a nuclear holocaust and established pro-US regimes. It's basically a conspiracy story along the lines of those so-so thrillers. The writing was pretty dull, but the idea itself was pretty good, something like the game Homefront (good solid background, horrible execution).
Depending on how people respond to this, I plan on expanding on the story itself, as to just what went on between the US and USSR, and how history was changed as a result of the secret agreement. In spite of Korean unification and expansion, things would not bee great for the Koreans, and it is interesting as to how what seems to be the best results can turn for the worst.
