"World War Z" chapter 1 'Warnings' summary by Seth Comara

The first chapter 'Warnings' written by Max Brooks in his novel "World War Z" which was published by Broadway paperbacks publishing in September 2006, is a series of interviews or oral accounts of recorded warnings of the impending world war Z. One account is taken from Dr. Kwang Jing-shu The chairman of the local security council who attempted to treat what seems to be early signs of the infection as well as encountered a zombie child that mutilated itself. This is followed by several more accounts. Nury Televaldi, A smuggler who had witnessed and assisted infected people across international borders. Stanley MacDonald, a veteran convinced he had PTSD and was told to forget about a violent outbreak incident in Kyrgyzstan by his own government. Dr. Fernando Oliveira, and illegal organ transplant surgeon who had unknowingly transplanted an infected Oregon into another man causing an outbreak incident that killed two people. Jacob Nyanthi, who lost his family and barely survived as zombie outbreak and awoke to a cover story about rabies. Jurgen Warmbrunn, an X spy who assisted in compiling the largest report on the Z epidemic, which was ultimately ignored. Finally, Saladin Kader; an era boy with extremist political views for spice father to seek shelter with the Israeli enemy. It was only when he saw juice killing Jews if you realize how dangerous the threat really was. The most interesting thing about these oral accounts is the fact that in each one the governmentis lying to the people, spewing false truths, spreading political cover ups, containing the outbreak, and yet not fighting the epidemic as a whole or even admitting its existence.
