Max Brooks Previews "World War Z"

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - What caused the great Zombie War? How did mankind survive? That's the theme of the book "WORLD WAR - Z" by author Max Brooks.

If the name Brooks seems familiar it's because his father is legendary comedian/actor/director Mel Brooks and his mother was the beautiful screen legend Anne Bancroft, but Max has created a world of his own focusing on zombies.

First it was the "Zombie Survival Guide" then "Deadliest Warrior - Vampires Vs. Zombies" and now "World War Z" , his latest work is out now in paperback. There's a movie in the works too!

KRLD's Mitch Carr talked to Max Brooks about the living dead.
