Many of the origins of psychological warfare and manipulation originate from books like Sun Tzu's Art of War and Niccolo Machiavelli's The Prince.

Originally written in Italian instead of the aristocratic Latin, The Prince caused quite a stir for it's cynical, often brutal advice on how a new ruler, "the prince" is to be successful in setting up his new republic. It requires the new prince to be an outstanding and outspoken public figure who secretly does everything neccessary to further the goals of his rule.

The term "Machiavellian" was coined to describe using cunning and often deceitful practices in politics. It's also used to describe a brilliantly conceived and executed plan.
