A military historian makes a shocking discovery in a dusty Army archive! Portions of two draft manuals instructing soldiers on how to confront . . . ZOMBIES!
Now declassified, these manuals can finally be shared with the reading public through this guided tour of the U.S. Army’s successful, adaptable approach to the zombie menace: first through a catalog of battle strategies and field tactics, and later through instruction on capturing and retraining zombies to use as U.S. military assets. Using spreads that showcase the seemingly outrageous illustrations from the original volumes, the military historian selects points of interest, such as the use of zombie combatants during the Cold War, or changes in zombie behavior (for example, from slow-moving, Romero-esque undead to the fast-moving creatures of 28 Days Later).
