The first three chapters of the book greatly revolve around the chapter’s name. Introduction is a brief explanation of why this book was written and the meaning behind it, it also serves to put a vague identity behind the questions being asked. Warnings deals with individuals who first encounter zombie, such as the Doctor going to the rural village and encountering “patient zero". Also the smuggler getting people starting to panic away and out of countries. It also included Israel and their earlier fortification of the city them heading the warnings and acting early. These people were there for the first warning signs and the few who took action. Blame focuses on people from the USA, members of various US Organizations and how the main bureaucracy of the US handled the situation. Vaccinations for rabies and America was in a large decline/recession. Although the US did manage to enact certain stop-gap measures, most notably the “Alpha Teams”.
The Section that most stuck out to me was the interview with Saladin Kader, specifically the section where he and his father have a falling out over moving to the walled city in Israel. Saladin tells his father what he thinks about moving and how he knows it’s wrong and that he has already taken steps to join up with a terrorist cell. Saladin’s Father proceeds to “whoop his ass” and tells Saladin if he didn’t fear the plague then he would fear him! This reaches out to me because actions clearly needed to be taken as soon as possible but despite this need not everyone clearly understood the danger and necessity. Leaving those who begin to take action in a tough position. People who failed to continue taking action because they were unable to get through that decision likely did not live through World War Z.
