Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Road to Victory A fact of momentous importance is that not until the coming into existence of this Teutonic sub - race was there a really self-governing people. The earliest written history we have of this branch of the white race is the statement by Julius Caesar while he was campaign ing against them. A century later was written a more complete description by Tacitus in the little volume Germania. It appears that in the German for ests the young men upon attaining manhood were emancipated - given their freedom by their parents; whereas among the earlier peoples the father guided his family, including his male ascendants and their families, as long as he lived.* But in the German for ests there existed a people wherein the adults ruled themselves, aided by par ental and other advice.
