The discovery of the terra-cotta soldiers is related in two biographies of Shih huang-ti: Arthur Cotterell, The First Emperor of China (1981); and R.W.L. Guisso et al., The First Emperor of China (1989), a well-illustrated work. Edmund Capon, Qin Shihuang (1982), covers the background of the figures. O.
