Newly translated book telling Lord of the Rings from the bad guys' point of view - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

To be fair, this isn't the first story I have heard of that tried to tackle this vein. Years ago, in some fanatasy collection I recall reading a story that was sort of meant to be the same attempt of telling LOTR from the other side (the difference being, this was telling it from the other side in circumstances where the other side won) Don't remember the title unfortunately (if it's any help I rememeber that in that version the Sauron character was referred to as the "Dark Brother). I though that was fairly decently written.
