1421: The Year China Discovered the World by Gavin Menzies

---

Don't read this. It may be a very enchanting read, and of course there is an absolutely interesting core of truth in it (the Chinese expeditions into South Asia, in the beginning over the 15th century), but it's full of speculation and exaggeration!
