Enrique Lister was born in Spain in 1907. He emigrated to Cuba in 1927 and joined the Cuban Communist Party. He then went to live in the Soviet Union (1931-34).
Lister returned to Spain and became a member of the Communist Party (PCE). On the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War he joined the Republican Army and became one of its most important commanders.
Lister was forced to flee from Spain when General Francisco Franco and the Nationalist Army took control of the country in March 1939.
Enrique Lister went to live in the Soviet Union but after the Second World War organized guerrilla operations against Franco (1946-47).
Lister established the Spanish Workers' Communist Party in 1973. He returned to Spain in November 1977, following the death of Franco.

During the Boer War...small flagged pins stuck into the large maps in my father's study fascinated me then, as they did later during the Russo-Japanese war, but as far as I can remember my father never explained their significance and I never had any hankering after a military career. Life in the army seemed to me excessively dull, for it never occurred to me that there was the remotest likelihood of there ever being another war, and an army without a war seemed to me quite pointless and rather ludicrous.
