1421: The Year China Discovered America by Gavin Menzies

4.0

This is a thoroughly well-researched piece of history, though I think it becomes overly defensive in protecting its hypothesis. Ultimately, it proves that established history is difficult to overturn, if not impossible.

However, it encourages us to think about culture and human history in a unique and different way. I really hope this is true, and I think it's worth a read for anyone who isn't afraid of considering alternatives to the established narrative.
