Zombie Outbreak

Recently, I read World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War, which obviously is a recount of the Zombie Wars. The government would like you to believe that this actually didn't happen, even relying on the writing skills of Mel Brook's son to tell the story and sell it as a work of fiction. I know differently though. In fact,   a cousin of my sister's co-worker's son's college roommate actually fought in the war and has the scars to prove it. Science would have you believe that zombies don't exist because it is scientifically impossible to reanimate a corpse, but how do you explain the number of zombie handbooks and survival guides on the market? I don't know about you, but I want to be fully prepared for future outbreaks against these undead beasts.

In order to be fully prepared for this outbreak the world must be prepared. I cannot be the only person who finds themselves battling reanimated loved ones. Therefore, I have compiled a list of books that you must read to inform yourself of previous zombie battles and what to do in case you find yourself in zombie form.

World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War by Max Brooks
"The Crisis" nearly wiped out humanity. Max Brooks has taken it upon himself to document the "first hand" experiences and testimonies of those lucky to survive the zombie war. Brooks interviewed countless people from around the world and compiled a documentary of their stories of zombie attack.

The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection from the Living Dead by Max Brooks
In order to fight zombies you must be prepared. The Zombie Survival Guide outlines virtually every possible zombie-human encounter, drafts detailed plans for defense and attack and outlines past recorded attacks dating from 60,000 BC.

The Zombie Survival Guide: Recorded Attacks by Max Brooks
Just in case you don't like words, Brooks has created a graphic novel to help you survive the drama of the undead. Brooks reveals how other eras and cultures have dealt with (and survived) the ancient viral plague.

The Zombie Combat Manual: A Guide to Fighting the Living Dead by Roger Ma
The Zombie Combat Manual is a comprehensive guide that demonstrates how anyone, from a seasonal fighter to the average citizen, can become an effective warrior in the inevitable battle against the undead. With detailed illustrations and firsthand accounts from zombie combat veterans, this manual provides readers with the information they need to emerge victoriously from a close combat encounter with a walking corpse.

The Official Zombie Handbook - The Ministry of Zombies b Sean T. Page
The Official Zombie Handbook includes full analysis of the latest scientific information on the zombie virus, the living dead creatures and how to destroy the undead. The book provides details on home fortification, foraging for supplies and even surviving a ghoul siege. Page provides detailed case studies and guidelines on how to battle the living dead, with which weapons to use, where to hide out and how to survive in a country dominated by millions of bloodthirsty zombies.

U.S. Army Zombie Combat Skills by the Department of the Army
There isn't much known on this book and to actually find a copy would be like hitting a gold mine. Similiar to the U.S. Army Survival Guide, this book assists soldiers in fighting the undead. Obviously the Zombie Wars occurred or the Department of the Army would not publish a book on army combat skills to use against zombies. That would be a waste of money and resources, which our country doesn't do.

Zombie CSU: The Forensics of the Living Dead by Jonathan Maberry
Employing hard science and solid police work, you will have the skills to investigate zombie crime scenes, collect and analyze evidence of zombie attacks, examine the psychology of the zombie and have the knowledge to develop a profile on the perpetrating zombie. Additionally, you will have the ability to observe medical scientists as they probe defeated zombies for forensic clues.

Zombies: A Field Guide to the Walking Dead by Bob Curran
Zombies explores how some of these beliefs may have arisen and the truths that lay behind them, examining myths from all around the world and from ancient times including Sumerian, Babylonian, Egyptian, and Celtic. Curran traces the evolution of belief in the walking cadaver from its early inception in religious ideology and cataleptics of 18th century Europe.
