World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War is a 2006 horror novel by Max Brooks post-apocalyptic. This is a continuation of his 2003 book, The Zombie Survival Guide. Instead of a grand vision or narrative, World War Z is a collection of individual accounts in the form of first-person anecdotes.
Brooks plays the role of an agent of the Commission of the United Nations after the war, which published the report a decade after the Zombie War ten years. The United Nations left much of his research in the official report, choosing to focus on facts and figures from the war rather than the individual stories that make up the bulk of the novel Brooks. The interviews chart a decade-long war against zombies from the perspective of different people of different nationalities. The personal accounts also describe the changing religious, geo-political post Zombie War and the environment.
