World War Z

An Oral History of the Zombie War


By Max Brooks


Think of this book as a documentary you can read, detailing the horrors that were World War Z. Or for those of you not born yet the war against the zombies. Each section documents the particular experience during this war of an individual. The collection spans the human spectrum of person, job, occupation. Piecing together a mosaic of the war through the eyes of those who were there.


If you think you know everything there was to know about the Zombie War, this book is for you. It will take all those tactics, battle plans, risks and strategy and put them face to face with real life experience. 


If you don't know anything about the Zombie War I have to ask, where did you dig a cave in the sand and remain completely isolated for the duration of the wars?


"It's fear, dud, just fear and you don't have to be Sun freakin Tzu to know that real fighting isn't about killing or even hurting the other guy, it's about scaring him enough to call it a day. . . They're not afraid! No matter what we do, no matter how many we kill, they will never, ever be afraid!." Pg. 100


"We required a massive job retraining program. In short, we needed a lot of white collars dirty." Pg 135


"There is a word for that kind of lie. Hope." Pg. 164


"Who knows what we could have accomplished if we had only chucked the politics and come together as human bloody beings." Pg. 259


"Anywhere around the world, anyone you talk to, all of us have this powerful shared experience." Pg. 333
