Guevara(1969:305) also applied this to the pedagogical role of revolutionary Cuba on the international stage. 'Cuba's example...teaches the people of America the road to liberation'. Che's insistence upon and use of example as a pedagogical tool, however, may best be seen in his work as a guerrilla trainer. As stated above, his guerrilla campaign in the Congo was a training mission. Since he put himself under the leadership of the Congolese gurrillas his ability to fully implement his ideas of training were limited to providing leadership to the other Cubans who came along with him as fellow soldiers and trainers. At a particularly frustrating point in the campaign, when it was becoming apparent that the Congolese liberation movement was facing defeat, Che wrote a memo to his fellow Cubans regarding what he considered should be their approach as trainers. This memo is worth quoting at length because it summarises many of the themes of Guevara's (2000b: 72-74) pedagogy that I have discussed up to this point
