Before Che went to Bolivia he changed his appearance so he wouldn't be recognized. His end result was to attract inhabitants to join his militia. He was only expecting to deal with the Bolivian military, who were poorly trained and inadequately equipped. He did not know that the U.S. had sent a team of CIA to assist the Bolivians. He also expected to be assisted and he was not. As well as being in radio contact, which he was not. On October 7, a team of 1800 soldiers surrounded his location and he was wounded. With his gun useless, he shouted, "Do not shoot! I am Che Guevara and worth more to you alive than dead." He refused to be interrogated by the CIA and Bolivian officials. Bolivian President, General Barrientos ordered Guevara to be killed as soon as possible.
