This article present an account of lessons learned by the Americans by the struggle endured by El Salvador. In the past decade there has been a great deal of talk about el pueblo. How it will inevitably win, how it is not afraid of the imperialists, and how, united, it will never be defeated. This talk has come mostly from Salvadoran militants, but also from people in the United States who have wanted to believe in a mythic, romantic "people" instead of the sulky teenagers and fat, sharp-tongued women and clever, dishonest men of the struggle-the real Salvadorans who are the heroes of this past ten years, the ones from whom the U.S. may yet learn what victory and hope mean.
