Qin Shi Huang

Qin Shi Huang is represented in the linked non-fiction through military command and battlefield decision-making, exploration, travel and cultural encounter, and court politics and dynastic power. These works approach the figure through the surrounding events, relationships and political conflicts rather than through a standalone biography.

In non-fiction, Qin Shi Huang is discussed in John Man’s The Terracotta Army and John Man’s The Great Wall. In John Man’s The Terracotta Army, the Terracotta Army places the thousands of clay soldiers discovered near Xi’an within the life and state-building programme of Qin Shi Huang.
