What would happen to international politics if the dead rose from the grave and started to eat the living?

I really enjoyed this book. The humour was dry and you could almost feel a suppressed giggle & a hand covering a smirk at some points even as he was explaining theories of policy, psychology, and international decision making. Very interesting theory on why Marxism & feminism didn't make the cut for dealing with zombies. Snort.

I'd really like to go out for a beer with Daniel Drezner & Max Brooks. Seriously, how fun would that conversation be? ( )

Has a very nice introduction on zombie use in other fields. The International relations part was interesting, referring often to examples from zombie literature. ( )
