The 2020 Commission Report on the North Korean Attacks on the United States
The 2020 Commission Report on the North Korean Attacks on the United States | Jeffrey Lewis
3 posts | 2 read
:America lost 1.4 million citizens in the North Korean attacks of 2020. This is the final, authorised report of the US government commission investigating the catastrophe. 'The skies over the Korean Peninsula on March 21, 2020, were clear and blue . . .' So begins this investigation by nuclear expert Dr Jeffrey Lewis into the horrific events of the three days that followed. While covering the fatal milestones -- from North Korea's accidental shootdown of a South Korean airliner to the tweet that triggered carnage -- the report asks difficult questions about the conduct of world leaders along the path to war. Did President Trump and his advisers realise the dangers of provoking Kim Jong Un with social media posts? Was conflict inevitable, or could the peace talks of 2018 have been successful? Who, ultimately, is responsible for one of the greatest tragedies in world history?

Powerful, incredibly readable with a touch of dark humour. This novel written as if a public record post events tells of how the US might find themselves facing a nuclear attack. Including real testimony of survivors from the attack‘s on Japan in 1945 it may be difficult reading for some.

In March 2020, a commercial airline flying from South Korea is shot down by North Korea who mistakes it for an American bomber. Written as a speculative fiction novel this was as a kind of after-action report from 2023 to review just what exactly caused the most horrific loss in human history. Seriously, this was kind of hard to read because 1) the timing isn't that far off, and 2) it's stupidly easy to imagine this coming to fruition.
