World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War by Max Brooks, 342 pages

I listened to this book after checking it out from Missouri Libraries to Go. The premise of the book is that it is 12 years after the end of a Zombie infestation that almost wiped out the human race.  The character, Max Brooks, not to be confused with the author, wrote a history of the conflict for the United Nations.  The UN didn't publish many of the personal stories that Max collected in his research, so he published those on his own and that is this book "World War Z."

I believe the audiobook is actually an abridgment of the print book, but it was great fun.  Author Max Brooks read the part of interviewer Max Brooks and each character was narrated by a different voice actor.  Actors included Alan Alda, Mark Hamill and Rob Reiner, among many others.

I'm sorry to say that in order to save the United States during the worst of the outbreak, that everything east of the Rockies was abandoned by the Army.  Ouch.  So much for St. Joe, MO!
