In <i>The Zombie Survival Guide: Recorded Attacks</i> bestselling author and "Studs Terkel of zombie journalism," <i>Max Brooks</i> provides the lessons that history has taught us about zombie outbreaks. This is not a list of all zombie attacks throughout history, but a chronicling of the most famous outbreaks, gruesomely illustrated in graphic novel form. From our descendants on the African savannahs to the legions of ancient Rome to the voyages of Francis Drake to the ill-advised experiments of the Soviet army, <i>The Zombie Survival Guide: Recorded Attack</i>, takes the reader on a journey across many anni horribilis and hauntingly reminds us how close the living dead have come to destroying humanity. 2587398 6 10 2009 The Zombie Survival Guide: Recorded Attacks total:122|5:28|4:49|3:36|2:9|1:0| 122 462 469 22 2 2 false false Sun Oct 18 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 19 09:42:05 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 19 09:43:29 -0700 2009
