Consequences

In the last chapters of the book you began to notice the long-term consequences of the war and the nature of it. This war is entirely different from any other conflict faced by any civilization. The psycological damage was too big, the lack of resourses was even worse, but more important, the enemy was completely different. Zombies did not need any rest, they do not give up, they not even had a strategy. At first, the ignorance helped to keep control over the population, but it did not last long. The ignorance killed millions of people because the population were not able to understand the desease, and either the enemy. 

In addition, the consequences of the choices taken by specific persons lead in problems or solutions with an enourmous scale. Millions of people depend on the creativity of the governments to create strategies to regain territory, but this people are not excluded. A high percent of the population had militar duties because the war demanded a lot of people. 

I think that, as I said before, the best tool to defeat is the preocupation for the others and also the information given to everyone. Also, it is important to take into account the general mood of the population because it is difficult to conquer something without a positive attitude, and, in this case, the achievement was life.

This are some quotes that support what I am saying:

"Ignorance was the enemy. Lies and superstition, misinformation, disinformation. Sometimes not information at all. Ignorance killed billions of people..."

"The living dead had taken more from us than land and loved ones..."

"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself"
