Gavin Menzies, 1421 (2002)

The author of this book theorizes that the Chinese discovered the Americas in the year 1421, well before Columbus thought of sailing the ocean blue. China did many other things first, so I was interested to read what the author had to say.

The book is well over 500 pages, so it was a bit intimidating to start. But by page190, I knew the theory & was bored with the supporting evidence.

This book was passed on to Robert Rossing.
