It’s been discussed over beers, it’s been debated in internet forums, it’s been dismissed by experts everywhere. Zombie survival has always been an interesting diversion when disaster oriented types gather.

Max Brooks took it one step further and put together a step by step guide to surviving the inevitable rise of the undead. Dealing with preparation, defense and long-term survival strategies the book is comprehensive.

I personally disagree with Max on a few key points (I’ll wield a sword the moment my ammunition is expended, and barring extraordinary circumstances not a second before) but admire the thought that has clearly gone into this guide.

If you only buy one book on zombie survival this year this should be the one.
