This is the Way the World Ends: An Oral History of the Zombie War 
February, 2031: The global population now stands at an estimated 400 million, and every survivor bears the scars of humanity's struggle to defeat an enemy few believed could exist. Some nations have emerged stronger than ever. Others still struggle to survive. Some no longer exist at all.
In the aftermath of the zombie pandemic Keith Taylor, noted author of post apocalyptic fiction, traveled the world to gather the first hand accounts of survivors from every walk of life, culture and strata of society, ranging from American political leaders to British journalists to members of India's homeless underclass.
These chilling interviews describe the course of humanity's most brutal war, leading from the initial emergence of the virus in the Siberian wilderness to the visceral, heart-rending Shibuya footage, through the confusion of the US President's impeachment to the unintended and disastrous consequences of the UN's sweeping refugee amendment, and ending with us battered and broken, diminished but not defeated, in the fragile peace we now enjoy. Together these accounts represent the most illuminating and complete commentary to date of humanity's loss.
From these candid interviews emerges an image of early 21st century civilization as it truly was: imperfect, fragmented and wholly unprepared for a disaster on such a scale. This is the Way the World Ends takes an unflinching, uncompromising look at the world we had and lost; a look at the pain we suffered due to our inability to accept a single, simple truth:
Zombies are real.
Note: Readers who lived through the pandemic may find the interviews contained within this collection distressing. Discretion is advised.
Loved itI like the true story interview style, and I like how the origin and cure of the zombie plague is slowly revealed. It's a well written interesting book and I'd love more. It's funny because I bought this book entirely by accident and was planning on returning it, but I thought I'd give it a peek first..then I was hooked.
AN INTERESTING AFTER ACTION REPORT ON THE ZULU ALPHA IT IS....Hello, this is a very good and entertaining reporting of the ZULU ALPHA. Several years after it began and the world started to rebuild. Good stuff. Thanks.

Max Brooks would be proud!The author set out to write a book similar to World War Z in its narrative style and tone, and did just that! A great read. Highly recommended for those who like zombie fiction!
Unafraid to be unoriginal When I actually sat down to read this, it took only 2-3 days, this was right on par with WWZ by Brooks. I thought Brooks & Mr. Taylor's approach to this genre as novel as given a large scale global tragedy would likely only be able to be documented on a large scale through interviews - this lends to an authenticity that typical story structure might glance over. I applaud Taylor's achievement here - If this genre is of interest to you or you have a general interest
Reading about a pandemic worse than what we're experiencing during COVID-19 times helps to keep the stress in check! Referring to this novel from the recent iAMA with Max Brooks, a random commentator described it as a "love letter to World War Z". Hm. It's much too much of an exact copy of an extremely unique work to be that. In fact, it reads more like a fanfiction. An incomplete fanfiction that fails to impress. This novel ends abruptly, with no pay off to the main story. The epidemiology of
Different spin on zombie apocalypse The book reminded me of world War z the book, not the movie, the premise of it anyway. Sometimes after the zombie have been cleared from most parts of the world the author interviews survivors. Some regular folk some post zombie celebrities. I think it was a new way to tell an zombie apocalypse survival story.
