DESCRIPTION:
Maybe, Brooks argues, the zombies brought us back to life. It began with rumours from China about another pandemic. Most people just wanted to rebuild their lives. A world still reeling from bird flu and limited nuclear exchanges had had enough of apocalypse. Then the cases started to multiply and what had looked like the stirrings of a criminal underclass, even the beginnings of a revolution, soon revealed itself to be much, much worse. Faced with a future of mindless, man-eating horror, humanity was forced to accept the logic of world government and face events that tested our sanity and our sense of reality. The reports were fragmentary and confused. Based on extensive interviews with survivors and key players in the ten-year fight-back against the horde, "World War Z" brings the very finest traditions of American journalism to bear on what is surely the most incredible story in the history of civilisation.
Julie Merilatt said Very Cool. This was a gift for my husband, but I ended up bogarting it before he even finished. Even though it’s not a genre I would typically read I thoroughly enjoyed it.

When Brooks interrupts characters to indicate that the person rolled his eyes or appeared apprehensive, his comments are often moot because the performers are already portraying such body language with their tone. Brooks remarkably identifies and articulates the nuances and unconsidered realities of what a zombie war would look like. This intriguing "oral history" stands apart from his previous zombie-related book, The Zombie Survival Guide, as Brooks uses the postwar culture here to provide political and social commentary on a wide range of real-life individuals and institutions. The abridgment keeps the story tight but struggles with the interviewer's narration during interviews. An all-star cast including Alan Alda, Mark Hamill, Jürgen Proch
