En 1983, Pierre Péan publie Affaires africaines sur le rôle de ce qu'on appelle la Françafrique dans l' émirat noir regorgeant de pétrole, dominé par le groupe Elf. Le scandale créé par le livre vaut à son auteur menaces de mort, attentat à son domicile, et la rancoeur d'Omar Bongo, papa indéboulonnable de son pays pendant quarante ans, témoin des relations incestueuses entre l'ex-colonie et Paris, notamment des subsides versés par le potentat de Libreville aux partis et au personnel politique de la métropole.
Vers la fin de son règne, Bongo fait savoir à Péan que, le temps ayant fait son oeuvre, il aimerait lui laisser son témoignage. Ce livre-là ne se fera pas, Bongo mourant en 2009. Mais Péan avait déjà pu glaner assez de confidences pour amorcer le présent ouvrage, entre autres sur les débuts de règne calamiteux du successeur d'Omar, Ali Bongo.
Accusations de corruption, de détournement de fonds publics, d'assassinats, d'élections truquées avec la complicité de Paris, de biens mal acquis en France et ailleurs, de folie des grandeurs: tel est le bilan catastrophique du pouvoir gabonais.

Outre Affaires africaines, Pierre Péan a consacré à cette région plusieurs ouvrages, dont Bokassa Ier, L'Argent noir, Noires fureurs, blancs menteurs et Carnages.
