Twenty years ago, Max Brooks shared the first-hand experiences of the survivors of the Zombie War in the powerful oral history, World War Z. Brooks 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 to record the harrowing testimony of those who came face-to-face with the living dead. 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.

In more than 350 annotations and a new introduction, the author reveals personal anecdotes about his family and their impact on his writing, the real-world events that inspired the book’s famous scenes, and the painstaking research he did to bring the undead to life.

“The perfect book for all us zombie junkies.”—Paste
