World War Z: Total War

The chapter first introduces the comparative advantage that zombies have of not being human and not being limited to resources they need for fighting. After the disaster that happened in Yonkers, the army went back to age old war strategies and weapons to combat the endless sea of zombies. Their victory was said to be the beginning of the end of the zombie apocalypse. In Russia, religion took on a bigger role as priests became the ones to kill the infected in order to shoulder the responsibility and to stop the suicides from sinning. Underwater, zombies are still thriving and recon teams continue to finish off the zombies. In Paris, thousands of people fled to the underground where they encountered uninhabitable conditions such as the toxic air, death traps, and were unable to use their weapons for fear of starting a fire. What stood out to me most was that towards the end of the chapter, the narrator interviews a man named Todd Wainio, who mentions the many enemies and obstacles besides zombies that the military had to face, namely feral animals and humans, booby traps, rebels and more.
