Louverture subverted Dieudonné through a covert double strategy that split his forces

Evidence

Under pressure from the French army, he adopted a decisive new strategy: instead of attempting to back up the Wilayas at appalling cost across the Morice Line, the A.L.N. would be regrouped and reorganised inside the Tunisian sanctuary, and held there in readiness for future military and political opportunities. It was a strategy that would, to some extent, deceive the French Army Command into believing the military successes of the Challe Plan were greater than in fact they were—with consequences that will shortly be seen. — Horne, Alistair, A Savage War of Peace- Algeria 1954-1962, 993 (#epitomizes, via linked claim)
