Qin Shi Huang - First Emperor

[jiabei]

Good day everyone. I hope to discuss with you my current research, to learn new things and to double check on some facts. There is a few things that I may need clarification on.

I've attached photos of some of the notes and research I've found. I will say, I want to know more about the assassination attempt at Qin Shi Huang (First emperor) and if indeed it was by Jing Ke. 
If there's any further stories, facts /nuggets of information that could prove useful for my notebook, please let me know. I also recall hearing that his first Prime minister had an attempt on his life as well. I'd like to know more about any attempts and also about why he was depicted as so cruel, yet his military tactics and many things laid out a great foundation for china. I want to understand also , how he was able to unify those nations and , basically, i'm in the dark about those other nations. Thank you .

I read a review of this book which takes a kinder look at the Qin unification apparently but I've not actually read it myself: https://www.sunypress.edu/p-5829-communication-and-cooperation-i.aspx

He was a great leader, but he was very selfish and evil.
