Garrigan remains blind

At the start of Garrigans job with Amin things seems to be working out fine, nothing very excting happens, small events that give off a feeling of trust, and then contrasting events that seem to pull Amin and Garrigan apart. Example of this is Amin putting Garrigan in charge of running the hospital in Kampala, in contrast Garrigan puts himself in an awkward situation when he openly disagrees with the way Amin treats his family. I can plainly see the volatile nature of Amin through these events, but still it does not seem to affect Garrigan. It seems to be inevitable that things will shortly turn for the worse for Garrigan. Even as people close to Amin begin to be killed and disappear like Minister Waswa, Garrigan fails to blame Amin, he is blind to the events happening around him, this is very frustrating for someone reading this book. Garrigan quickly needs to find out who he can really trust.
