I Went to Prison So You Won't Have to

When former White House adviser Peter Navarro stood on principle, he never imagined it would land him behind bars. Navarro stood up for a right long protected by Democrats and Republicans alike, and one that has been assumed by every president in American history until Donald Trump: executive privilege.

Peter Navarro is a former White House trade adviser and accomplished economist who found himself on the front lines of a historic legal showdown. Convicted for contempt of Congress after invoking executive privilege, he turned a four-month incarceration into an opportunity to expose flaws in the justice system and advocate for change. Navarro has written numerous books on policy and politics, but this is his most personal endeavor yet.
Bonnie “Pixie” Brenner, his beloved fiancée, is the heart of this story. A newcomer to co-authorship, Bonnie provides an every-person’s perspective with warmth, candor, and unyielding optimism. Through the letters and diary entries she shares, readers experience the emotional roller coaster of awaiting a loved one’s return. Together, Peter and Bonnie bring both sides of the prison wall to life—offering a unique blend of insider insights and heartfelt narration that has the power to resonate with families, patriots, and reformers alike.
