The collection contains the contributions received from members of the foreign service of South Africa between the years 1960 to 1994.

A number of general emails have also been included to add further context.

The trilogy consists of the volumes 1) The wild honey of Africa, 2) The noose tightens, and 3) Total onslaught to normalisation, and has been compiled from the contributions of more than 100 ex-South African diplomats. The texts contain varied stories from the Apartheid-era diplomatic service with material and photographs never previously published.
