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. \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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eTHE INSPIRATION FOR THE MAJOR MOTION PICTURE\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Will spook you for real.\"\u003cb\u003e--\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Possesses more creativity and zip than entire crates of other new fiction titles.
