Almost immediately, Martí led a revolt of farm workers, Native Americans, and other rural Salvadorans, armed mostly with machetes.

Now, a half century later, rightist officers who counted themselves heirs of Martinez were determined to root out a new infection with equal thoroughness.
A succession of generals had held power during those fifty years, but as the country's small yet growing middle class began to demand its own voice in Salvador's sclerotic political system, the officer corps came to show increasing signs of strain.
