Through a series of oral interviews,
Brooks, as an agent of the
United Nations Postwar
Commission, describes the history of 'World War Z'. Although the origin of the zombie pandemic is unknown, the story begins in
China where a young boy becomes the pandemic's "patient zero"—(it is implied that the boy was not the first victim chronologically), at which
point the
Chinese government attempts to contain the infection and concocts a crisis involving
Taiwan to mask their activities. The infection is spread to other countries by the black market organ trade and by refugees, before an outbreak brings the plague to public attention.
As the infection spreads,
Israel abandons the
Palestinian territories and initiates a nationwide quarantine, closing its borders to everyone except uninfected
Jews and
Palestinians. It then puts down an ultra-Orthodox uprising, which is later referred to as a civil war.
Pakistan and
Iran destroy each other in a nuclear war after the
Iranian government attempts to stem the flow of refugees fleeing through Pakistan and into Iran.
The United States of America does little to prepare because it is over-confident in its ability to suppress any threat. Although special forces teams contain initial outbreaks, a widespread effort never starts as the nation is deprived of political will by several "brushfire wars", and because a rabies vaccine, marketed as effective, creates a false sense of security.
When the world recognizes the true extent of the problem, a period known as the "
Great Panic" begins.
Following the loss of
New York City, the
U.S. Army sets up a high-profile defense at
Yonkers, New York.
The U.S. military uses cold war tactics, such as anti-tank weapons and demoralization through wounding; but these prove ineffective against zombies, which "can't be shocked and awed", have no self-preservation instincts, and can only be stopped if shot through the head. The soldiers are routed on live television, while other countries suffer similarly disastrous defeats, and human civilization teeters on the brink of destruction.
In
South Africa, the government adopts a plan drafted by ex-apartheid government official
Paul Redeker, which calls for the establishment of small sanctuaries, and leaves large groups of refugees abandoned and alive in special zones in order to distract the undead, allowing those within the main safe zone time to regroup and recuperate. Governments worldwide assume similar plans or relocate the populace to safer foreign territory, such as the complete evacuation of the
Japanese Home Islands. Because zombies freeze solid in the cold, many civilians in
North America flee to the wildernesses of northern
Canada and the Arctic, where some 11 million people die of starvation and hypothermia. The three remaining astronauts in the
International Space Station survive the war by salvaging supplies from the abandoned
Chinese space station, and maintain some military and civilian satellites using the various pods attached to the
ISS and the orbital fuel station.
