Self

Max Brooks is a nonresident senior fellow with the Scowcroft Center for Strategy
and Security’s Art of the Future project. Mr. Brooks is a New York Times
bestselling author. His book World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War, has
been made into a major motion picture starring Brad Pitt.
His fiction, while undeniably entertaining, works to raise awareness on the issues
of disaster preparedness, crisis management, and survival for the common
reader—all under the thematic guise of a zombie apocalypse. He has devoted
much of his life to the study and development of “anti-ghoul” security,
culminating in a genuine interest in the fundamentals and logistics that go into
keeping our world safe from natural and man-made disaster threats.
