The great panic consisted of the events that transpired around the globe during the first "real" outbreak. People were seeing the infected all at once and watching them animate in front of their eyes. The great panic talks to interviewees about this experience. It goes from a man in India trying to escape through ferrying passage by means of the sea, to a feral child and what her experience was like (not to mention how it affected her development), to a military solider who lost what was the biggest battle in restoring confidence to the people of the world.
My favorite part is the battle of Yonkers. Being from the military I very much appreciate the interviewees bluntness on the subject. Such a detailed battle with good examples of real world applications made it very exciting. The only part that I was surprised by was the loss. In a world where every guy pays video games, it is hard to believe that they weren't as strategic with their actions or with conserving ammunition. All in all, I believe the author needed the loss of this battle to further break the spirit of the people and have a learning point for the people and the military.
