On March 8, 1421, the largest fleet the world had ever seen set sail from China. Its mission was "to proceed all the way to the ends of the earth to collect tribute from the barbarians beyond the seas" and unite the whole world in Confucian harmony.</p>
When it returned in October 1423, the emperor had fallen, leaving China in political and economic chaos. The great ships were left to rot at their moorings and the records of their journeys were destroyed. Lost in China's long, self-imposed isolation that followed was the knowledge that Chinese ships had reached America seventy years before Columbus and had circumnavigated the globe a century before Magellan. Also concealed was how the Chinese colonized America before the Europeans and transplanted in America and other countries the principal economic crops that have fed and clothed the world.</p>
Unveiling incontrovertible evidence of these astonishing voyages, 1421 rewrites our understanding of history. Our knowledge of world exploration as it has been commonly accepted for centuries must now be reconceived due to this landmark work of historical investigation.</p>

A must read for anyone interested in world history. Very convincing argument. Pure pleasure. Menzies could have done a better job if he had some background in the Chinese language.

用很学术的行文描述1421年中国航海大业的。。。小说!一到关键时候,证据就缺席。这当然是小说才会出现的事。其中不乏奇趣,比如历史上某国的男士们会在私处嵌入珠饰以取悦女方,皇宫贵族们用宝石,草根们用普通珠子。啧啧
