World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War is a post-apocalyptic horrornovel by Max Brooks. It is a follow-up to his 2003 book, The Zombie Survival Guide. Rather than a grandoverview or narrative, World War Z is a collection of individual accounts in the form offirst-person anecdotes. Brooks plays the role of an agent of the United Nations Postwar Commission, who published the report a decade after the Zombie War. The United Nations left much of his research out of the official report, choosing to focus on facts and figures from the war rather than the individual stories that form the bulkofBrooks' novel.The interviews chart a decade-long war against zombies from the view point of many different people of various nationalities. The personal accounts also describe the changing religious, geo-political, and environmental aftermath of the Zombie War.

World War Z was inspired by The Good War, an oralhistory of World War II by Studs Terkel; and by the zombie films of director George A. Romero. Brooks used World War Z to commenton social issues like government ineptitude and American isolationism, while also examining themesof survivalism and uncertainty. Critics have praised the novel for reinventing the zombie genre; the audiobook version, performed by a full cast including Alan Alda, Mark Hamill and JohnTurturro, won an Audie Award in 2007. A film based upon the book is in production, and is set for a December 2012 release.
