'World War Z: Turning the Tides' Summary by Seth Comara

In 'Turning the Tide', a chapter in the Max Brooks novel World War Z, the author begins describing how humanity begins getting a foothold in the Z war. Not all methods as merciful as they seem. For example Paul Redeker, a brilliant yet dispassionate man who was famous for constructing the non-bias government 'Plan Orange' in which Reeker calculated who should be saved in the event of a doomsday scenario in the Afrikaner region. With his assistance, a new plan was set forth to suit the survivors of the Z war. As many lives were spared by this plan, there were equal who became bait. Sacrifices to keep the zombies at bay. It seemed Redeker's philosophy on human sentimentality was put into action by the NIA. In the end, Reeker lost his mind, this supposedly unemotional man was so destroyed by his own actions, that he created a whole new persona to escape the man he had become.  I'm not surprised it ended this way, after all, the zombies are un bais as well. They do not bow to love, grief, or hate. Its our humanity that makes us better than them. Without our humanity, we're barely even human.
