We are pleased to announce these upcoming programs at the George W. Bush Presidential Center. Please contact boxoffice@bushcenter.org if you need assistance.

America has always been a nation of laws, but in the book, Gorsuch suggests that today our laws have grown so vast and reach so deeply into our lives that it’s worth asking: In our reverence for law, have we gone too far? Over just the last few decades, laws in the U.S. have exploded in number; they are increasingly complex; and the punishments they carry are increasingly severe. Some of these laws come from our elected representatives, but many now come from agency officials largely insulated from democratic accountability.

Bush Center President and CEO Ken Hersh will moderate what is sure to be a compelling and memorable conversation.

Robert “Navy Bob” Roncska will be signing copies of his new book Beyond the Sea: Leading with Love from the Nuclear Navy to the White House and Healthcare at the Bush Museum Store.

During his impressive twenty-eight-year career in the Navy, Roncska commanded a nuclear-powered submarine, led the largest submarine squadron in the U.S. fleet, and even carried the nuclear football for President George W. Bush, who affectionately named him “Navy Bob.”

In his debut book, Navy Bob offers insights from his accomplished career and shares his own unique outlook, which blends military precision and execution with compassionate understanding.

Purchase your copy from the Bush Museum Store. If you plan to attend the book signing event on August 21, please select pick up for the delivery method to receive your book at the event. Books may also be purchased at the Museum Store on the day of the book signing.
