World War Z
Overview & Summary
Structured as a series of first-person interviews conducted after a devastating global zombie pandemic, this novel assembles survivors' accounts from around the world -- soldiers, scientists, refugees, and ordinary civilians -- to reconstruct how humanity nearly fell to the outbreak and the desperate, uneven ways different nations fought back. Max Brooks's novel uses the oral-history format to explore geopolitics, military strategy, and human behavior under catastrophic pressure.
