Total War

I chose to respond to Total War because I felt this chapter was the most knowledgeable. I was really interested in the point made that there is no such thing as total war when it comes to the human race. In order to achieve total war every person from a country would have to devote every second of everyday to the cause, this is impossible because humans need to eat, sleep, etc. However the zombies could achieve this because all they are about is the consumption of human flesh. Another point made in this chapter was the difference in the zombie army and the human army. One the zombies are not really a army. They are more or less each individual that happens to be on the same side. They do not have a central command, nor do they take orders or develop strategy, it is all about eating. Humans however have this, but fighting this type of army would prove to be difficult. Because of the fact that the only way to defeat them is to kill all of them. you can not starve them out, cut off supplies or anything of that nature. I really liked this chapter of the book because of how it broke down the battle of both sides.
