World War Z

The Zombie War nearly eradicated humanity. Now, a decade after the conflict, an agent of the United Nations Postwar Commission has traveled the globe to compile the definitive record from those who survived. This is not a story of a lone hero but the collected testimony of the human race, pieced together from the firsthand accounts of men, women, and children who came face-to-face with the undead hell. Forget what you think you know about zombies; this is the story of how the world truly reacted.

Through a series of detailed interviews, the history of the apocalyptic pandemic unfolds. From the doctor in a remote Chinese village who first encountered Patient Zero, to the soldiers who fought in the disastrous Battle of Yonkers, to the submariners who listened to the world fall apart from beneath the waves, each perspective offers a new, vital piece of the global puzzle. This oral history chronicles the initial denial, the terrifying "Great Panic," and the desperate, brutal strategies that allowed mankind to turn the tide. It is a sobering, geopolitical examination of human resilience and failure, revealing the countless, personal stories that were almost lost to history.
