A narrow escape
As time went on in Uganda, the poeple that helped put Amin in power (the Biritsh) eventually struggles to help to bring him out of power. In the Novel Stone who at first is unliked by Garrigan, becomes Garrigan's only allie. Garrigan waited to long before he finally decided it was time to get out of Uganda, he was lucky Stone and Englishman was willing to help him flee the country. Garrigan finally realized that he was just out of place in Uganda, the African's way of life was too different from his own. Things that white people held in value weren't important, and small things, material things were too important. Garrigan had no choice but to trust Stone. Once again there seems to be an underlying battle of races, the Brits, (whites) against Amin and the Africans. All in all the book was very difficult to read, it had interesting material, yet the downright naiveness of Garrigan is almost to much to handle.
