"Those who don't learn from history are condemned to repeat it. From the Stone Age to the information age, the undead have threatened to engulf the human race. They're coming. They're hungry. Don't wait for them to come to you! This is the graphic novel the fans demanded: major zombie attacks from the dawn of humanity. On the African savannas, against the legions of ancient Rome, on the high seas with Francis Drake-- every civilization has faced them. Here are the grisly and heroic stories--complete with eye-popping artwork that pulsates with the hideous faces of the undead. Organize before they rise! Scripted by the world's leading zombie authority, Max Brooks, Recorded Attacks reveals how other eras and cultures have dealt with--and survived--the ancient viral plague. By immersing ourselves in past horror we may yet prevail over the coming outbreak in our time."

Not nearly as great as his follow up, “World War Z” one of my favorite books ever, but definitely worth a read if you're a zombie nerd like me. It's like sitting around with fellow horror nerds and hashing out every little detail of how to deal with the undead. With as much work as Brooks put into researching the “what if's?” of zombie lore, there's really no excuse anymore for Hollywood to not get a bit more imaginative and also less silly, about how their human protagonists handle the undead.
I'm looking at you, Walking Dead.
I'll admit, this was quite amusing to read while in quarantine... especially the part of the book where Brooks says: “How could those in power, especially in such a modern, enlightened age as ours, ignore the spread of a deadly disease until it reached plague proportions?”
How indeed, Mr. Brooks...how indeed...
