I Am Not Your Enemy: A Memoir (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781954118843)

The story of a patriot who dreamed of serving her country--but who was nearly destroyed by it.

Reality Winner was a twenty-five-year-old translator for the NSA when she saw a document that she assumed would make headlines: After public silence by the NSA and blatant lies by the Trump administration, the 2016 US election was far from secure. She impulsively printed the document--a breach of NSA protocol--stuffed it into her stockings, left the building, and mailed it to The Intercept, which promptly informed the NSA.

Now, for the first time--after two films and a Broadway play about her--Winner tells her own story: her unusual childhood, which led her to want to serve her country; her reasons for leaking the document; and her torturous years in prison, where she served the longest prison sentence ever for a government-affiliated employee convicted on a single count of leaking classified information to an American news outlet. This is a bold, brave book about the risk one woman took to protect her country and the price she paid for it.
