Dans l'ombre de Bob Denard

Les mercenaires français de 1960 à 1989

Début des années 1960 : en pleine décolonisation du Congo belge, la sécession du Katanga provoque un afflux de combattants étrangers. Parmi ces « Affreux » (comme les surnomme la presse), les Français sont les plus actifs. Ils entament une sorte d’âge d’or fait de coups de main et de coups d’État qui s’étendent sur tout le continent. Ils leur permettront de prendre entre autres le contrôle des Comores de 1978 à 1989. Jusqu’à la fin de la guerre froide, ces « chiens de guerre » servent clandestinement les intérêts d’anciennes puissances coloniales désireuses de conserver une forte influence en Afrique. Le chef des mercenaires français, Bob Denard, fait l’objet d’une intense médiatisation. Pour la première fois, cet ouvrage analyse l’action de ces combattants de l’ombre mais aussi le rapport à l’argent et à l’aventure, ainsi que les hiérarchies internes de ce groupe. En croisant les archives françaises et étrangères, les archives privées de Bob Denard – inédites à ce jour – et de nombreux témoignages de première main, l’auteur nous plonge, loin des clichés, dans la vie quotidienne de ces hommes qui vont de conflit en conflit. Certains sont jeunes et politisés, d’autres des guerriers expérimentés. Plusieurs cultures et générations s’entrecroisent : les baroudeurs, les « corsaires de la République », les « gangsters ». Fers de lance de la lutte anticommuniste, relais des réseaux occultes de la Françafrique avant d’être désavoués par Paris, alternant fortune, gloire et défaites, ces « Affreux » ne trouvent plus leur place dans le monde post-guerre froide : leur modèle sera bientôt remplacé par celui des sociétés militaires privées de type anglo-saxon. Date de première édition : 2014.
