The book is continuing from where the Zombie Military History series left off, and is very well researched and for some, quite confronting.
I have no financial interest in the selling of this book, by the way, i've just found it an incredibly interesting and enlightening read!

Hi Toby I found that book on the bargon table outside Big W so I bought it for future reading.
