From Book VI of The Art of War (L'arte della guerra) by Machiavelli and written in 1519: A Captain should endeavor with every art to divide the forces of the enemy, advising this act be achieved either by making him suspicious of his men in whom he trusted, or by giving him cause that he has to separate his forces, and, because of this, become weaker.
