#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Prepare to be entranced by this addictively readable oral history of the great war between humans and zombies.”—Entertainment Weekly
We survived the zombie apocalypse, but how many of us are still haunted by that terrible time? We have (temporarily?) defeated the living dead, but at what cost? Told in the haunting and riveting voices of the men and women who witnessed the horror firsthand, World War Z is the only record of the pandemic.
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, 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.

“Will spook you for real.”—The New York Times Book Review
“Possesses more creativity and zip than entire crates of other new fiction titles. Think Mad Max meets The Hot Zone. . . . It’s Apocalypse Now, pandemic-style. Creepy but fascinating.”—USA Today
“Will grab you as tightly as a dead man’s fist. A.”—Entertainment Weekly, EW Pick
“Probably the most topical and literate scare since Orson Welles’s War of the Worlds radio broadcast . . . This is action-packed social-political satire with a global view.”—Dallas Morning News

"Best book I've ever read/listened to Max Brooks knows his way around Zombies"
"Very interesting way of writing a story. Different accounts from different countries as to what happened and how the surviving population coped with it. Although it is a zombie book the focus is not on zombies but on the survivors. I did watch the movie afterwards and can say that the movie focused on one story and there are many many more. Would recommend, easy to pick up at any stage as each chapter is a complete account of what happened to either an individual, a small group and even very large groups of survivors."
"Bought this book for my 15 yo daughter... Ended up reading myself first...so good that she hasn't had a chance to read it yet!"
"This book was one great read. The writer takes you on a journey through multiple different characters, each one his style of writing allows you to feel as though you become the character and fighting the Zombie war. I will give this book 5 stars, as I thoroughly enjoyed the journey through the World War Z, and the style of writing was excellent to engage the reader. Great book!"
Member"This was a very enjoyable read, and if you are into Zombies at all, this is a must have 'classic'. It's told in a documentary style first person perspective after the fact. It sounds like a boring way to write a book, and this is what put me off, but in actual fact it is very interesting and well written. New Zealand even gets a short mention, with Maori warriors fighting off hordes of Zombies! You might want to get the Zombie Survival Guide as well, a companion book. The Zombie apocalypse is coming... be prepared!"
