Niet de beste Binet, maar een spitsvondige alternatieve geschiedenis van Europa en de VS. Misschien zou dan kip met chocoladesaus ons nationaal gerecht ipv frieten met stoofvlees....zijn geworden.

A fascinating imagination of the Inca Empire as the colonizer of Europein the 16th century rather than the reverse.
