Robert Bonnaud (born in 1929 in Marseilles, France) is an anti-colonialist historian and professor of history at the Paris VII Jussieu University. In 1957, following the advice of his friend Pierre Vidal-Naquet, he published in Esprit an article entitled La Paix des Nementchas (Nementchas' Peace), where he denounced massacres he witnessed made by the French army in Algeria, on the 25th and 26th of October 1956. In June 1961, he was arrested and jailed in Marseilles' Baumettes prison as a supporter of the Algerian nationalists of the FLN; Hargreaves calls him "the leader of the Jeanson network in the Marseilles region". He was released in June 1962, two months after the Evian agreements and the proclamation of Algeria's independence.
