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. \u003ci\u003eWorld War Z\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRanging  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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMost of all, the book captures with  haunting immediacy the human dimension of this epochal event. Facing the often raw  and vivid nature of these personal accounts requires a degree of courage on the part  of the reader, but the effort is invaluable because, as Mr. Brooks says in his introduction,  “By excluding the human factor, aren’t we risking the kind of personal detachment  from history that may, heaven forbid, lead us one day to repeat it? And in the end,  isn’t the human factor the only true difference between us and the enemy we now refer  to as ‘the living dead’?”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNote: Some of the numerical and factual material contained  in this edition was previously published under the auspices of the United Nations  Postwar Commission.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eThe Zombie Survival Guide\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eZombie Survival Guide \u003c\/i\u003eis your key to survival  against the hordes of undead who may be stalking you right now.
