World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War by Max Brooks lp69284.readingbooks.co/t5/detail.php?book=8908The 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 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. 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.
Ranging
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.
Most 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'?"
Note: Some of the numerical and factual material
contained in this edition was previously published under the auspices of
the United Nations Postwar Commission.
