Turning the Tide, World War Z Summary. Lucas Nichols

In world war z during the section of Turning the Tide. There is an interview with a man named Xolelwa Azania, it takes place in Robben Island, Cape town providence, United states of southern africa. Azania is writing a book titled “Rainbow Fist: South Africa at War”. The book is about the subject they were going to talk about which is a man named Paul Redeker. Paul was described as dispassionate, but his work on papers dealing with dealing with alternative solutions to historical, social quandaries was what brought him attention of the south african government. In the 1980’s Paul was hired to revise a government plan called “plan orange”, this plan was to the white people that ruled to keep order from the underprivileged blacks which were the majority of the population. In 1984 paul updated the plan and determined who the survivors would be it was even renamed to orange 84. Later during the interview it was said that the government had fallen and that paul had went into hiding because he wasn’t needed anymore. Later when the great panic had hit agents from the National Intelligence Agency were at Pauls house questioning him if he was the creator of orange eighty four. They also wanted to know if he had a plan to deal with the zombies and he did. Once he told the agents what the plan was, he was brought to the president and the plan was reported to the president as well.  The president was upset with the plan and everyone had assumed that the president himself put in the order. But it wasn’t the president it was a statesman named Rhlihlahla, this man claimed Paul's plan was the only plan to save them all. A few days later the plan was put into place and Paul was never seen again. A lot of people had assumed Paul was a heartless man. Later the interviewer goes to visit a Psychiatric Institution and he was going to visit Paul Redeker himself. One thing I thought was interesting of this interview was Paul’s plan on how to deal with the zombies. Yes while it was a strange idea to not save all of the civilians, nobody in the plan was ever sacrificed or killed directly. The people that weren’t brought to safe zones still have a fighting chance of survival. In a sense everybody has a fair shot of survival. It may be hard to accept his plan as good, but I sure think that his plan could be a great way to rid of the zombies.
