The Zombie War came
unthinkably close to eradicating humanity. Max Brooks, driven by the
urgency of preserving the acid-etched first-hand experiences of the
survivors from those apocalyptic years, traveled across the United
States of America and throughout the world, from decimated cities that
once teemed with upwards of thirty million souls to the most remote and
inhospitable areas of the planet. He recorded the testimony of men,
women, and sometimes children who came face-to-face with the living, or
at least the undead, hell of that dreadful time. World War Z is
the result. Never before have we had access to a document that so
powerfully conveys the depth of fear and horror, and also the
ineradicable spirit of resistance, that gripped human society through
the plague years.
Ranging from the now infamous village of New
Dachang in the United Federation of China, where the epidemiological
trail began with the twelve-year-old Patient Zero, to the unnamed
northern forests where untold numbers sought a terrible and temporary
refuge in the cold, to the United States of Southern Africa, where the
Redeker Plan provided hope for humanity at an unspeakable price, to the
west-of-the-Rockies redoubt where the North American tide finally
started to turn, this invaluable chronicle reflects the full scope and
duration of the Zombie War.
