Did anyone read this book? It looks interesting. Any feedback?

Read it several years ago.
I get updates from time to time on the research.

Read it also. It appears that it is a well researched piece of faction.
Along similar lines to The Da Vinci Code.

Just saw youe link, dadpad, before posting the same :wink:
Quote:The
http://www.1421exposed.com and
http://www.1421exposed.tv joint websites have been set up by an international group of academics and researchers who are greatly concerned about the myths being created and perpetuated by Gavin Menzies, his business group, and his publishers.
In his book 1421: The Year China Discovered the World Menzies claimed Chinese admiral Zheng He had circumnavigated the globe, in the process "discovering" most of the world.
Subsequent media coverage has failed to accurately present to the public the large body of evidence that Menzies' claim is a fabrication, without any basis in fact.
The purpose of this website is to present that evidence, and ensure that history is not rewritten by publishers more interested in short-sighted marketing campaigns that ensure their financial security, rather than intellectual integrity and public enlightenment.
Looks like fun to read, I am going to look for it at the library. Thank you, dadpad and Walter, for the links.
How do you get those updates, Joe?
