Synopsis
The Last Military Operations Of General Riego; Also, The Manner In Which He Was Betrayed &C by George Matthewes. This narrative, authored by George Matthewes, presents an eyewitness account of General Riego’s last campaigns, capture, and imprisonment during the early 1820s in Spain. The memoir follows the author, an Englishman who served as Riego’s aide-de-camp, from the march through Nerfa and the Sierra Nevada, Priego and Jaén, to Martos and Madrid. It records battles, sieges, and the perilous betrayals that fractured the Liberal cause, including Ballasteros’s capitulation to the French and the resulting disintegration of Riego’s army. Throughout, Matthewes offers vivid personal detail—the leadership of Riego, the courage of the troops, moments of pain and hunger, and the treacheries of collaborators—culminating in the commander’s execution and the author’s harrowing confinement in Carolina, Andujar, Baylen, and Madrid. The work blends military history with memoir, revealing the costs of revolutionary struggle and the endurance of fidelity to constitutional liberty. The volume also reflects the author’s appeals for aid and his reflections on justice and honor.
