The book delves into South Africa's role in African diplomacy, highlighting its significant military resources and historical leadership in negotiations. However, it critiques the country's diplomatic failures over recent decades, including its support for the Mugabe regime and missed opportunities in leveraging Chinese investment. John Siko, with insider knowledge, examines the lack of a coherent foreign policy, emphasizing Thabo Mbeki's tight control over diplomatic decisions and the enduring isolationist approach that has persisted since Nelson Mandela's presidency.
