Turning the Tide, World War Z

In chapter four, Turning the Tide, Brooks writes about how the government and the military team up and fight against the zombie outbreaks. Brooks focused on a man named Paul Redeker, who developed the "Orange Plan". The "Orange Plan" consisted of sacrificing certain Afrikaner populations in order to save others. This plan made Redeker an extremely hated man, however, the military didn't have any other options but to listen to him. With this being the main story in the chapter, it wasn't my favorite. I found the story of the family moving up north to be the most interesting. The television and radios announced that people would only be able to make it through the apocalypse if they moved up north, that way the zombies would freeze during the winter. Little did they know, after the winter months had passed, the zombies would come right back to life after being frozen to death. Finding out that these zombies were practically indestructible really changed the thoughts of the government and the military, it made the circumstances far worse.
