About the book

Gavin Menzies presents a controversial thesis: that in 1421, Chinese admiral Zheng He led an expedition that circumnavigated the world, centuries before Columbus and Vasco da Gama. Through historical evidence, ancient maps, and archaeological analysis, the author challenges the traditional narrative of the great European discoveries.

An ambitious and thought-provoking work that reexamines the history of global maritime exploration and China's underestimated role in the early modern era.
