The Laws That Shaped America

Fifteen Acts of Congress and Their Lasting Impact

By: Dennis W. Johnson

For better and sometimes for worse, Congress is a reflection of the aspirations, wants, and priorities of the American people. It reflects the kaleidoscope of special interests and unselfish service to others, of favors sought and sacrifices made. During each two-year session of Congress, thousands of pieces of legislation are proposed, many hundreds are given serious consideration, but far fewer are eventually enacted into law. Most enactments have limited impact, affect few, and are quietly forgotten in the flow of legislative activity. However, a small number of laws have risen to the level of historical consequence. These are the laws that have shaped America, and they are the subject of this book. Which pieces of legislation were the most significant for the development of the nation? Which have had an immediate or lasting impact on our society? Which laws so affected us that we could not imagine how our lives would be without them? Dennis W. Johnson vividly portrays the story of fifteen major laws enacted over the course of two centuries of American democracy. For each law, he examines the forces and circumstances that led to its enactment--the power struggles between rival interests, the competition between lawmakers and the administration, the compromises and principled stands, and the impact of the legislation and its place in American history.

Teddy Bears to Dangerous Missions

By: Dennis Robertson

Come aboard as the author takes you from his early childhood living in Miami before and during WWII to his years hopping among several grammar schools in the eastern United States. He served almost eight years in the US Navy Submarine Service. His description of life on long isolated sixty- to seventy-two-day deterrent Fleet Ballistic Missile (FBM) submarine patrols will give you an appreciation for the sacrifices still being made today by our US Navy Silent Service warriors. This autobiographical journey concludes with the author's transition to civilian life and a successful career living in the Washington, DC, area raising a family. The book is filled with over a hundred images illustrating the narrative. This is a must read for any military veteran or history buff.
