Spanish resistance fighter to General de Gaulle, when asked how long he had been in the Resistance, ‘With all respect, General, before you.’

Forgotten Places: Barcelona and the Spanish Civil War

Available in print and on Kindle.

My second book Travels around the Spanish Civl War is published by Hurst. Details here

“A genuinely engrossing … highly informed road trip … [local] testimony combined with Lloyd’s research, shows that the physical and psychological scars of the civil war are still raw.” — TLS

‘A fascinating mixture of travelogue, micro-history and reflection.’ — Literary Review

‘Truly original and, at the same time, compellingly readable. It is a real treat to be taken around Spain today in search of memories of the war by a guide as invariably knowledgeable and hawk-eyed, as funny and as sensitive, as Nick Lloyd.’ — Paul Preston
