The Most Dangerous Political Operative in America,” (Bloomberg News) is also one of the most popular. Stephen K. Bannon, love him or hate him, is the leader of tens of millions of Americans of the “America First” movement also known as MAGA (Make America Great Again) or Trump patriots. This has made him a target of the Chinese Communist Party, the World Health Organization, the World Economic Forum, members of the US congress and intelligence community, the global military/industrial complex, Hollywood, and Wall Street.
On July 1, 2024 his enemies in the US government successfully convicted him of a misdemeanor--contempt of congress--and sent him to federal prison.This only steeled his determination to destroy America’s shadow government, the Deep State. He considers himself a political prisoner and serving his prison time as his patriotic duty, no different than his service to the nation was as a naval officer.
Death threats have become common for Bannon and his family. Progressive activists gather outside of his DC home studio in efforts to intimidate guests and sponsors of his top rated internet program, Warroom. Despite the increasing physical security concerns, Bannon is a happy warrior. He frequently challenges opponents to public debates where he promises to “bench press” them.

It shows his storied rise through the US Navy, Wall Street, Hollywood, and Washington DC. It explores his deep devotion to a powerful and ancient Christian discipline, his fearless commitment to national populism, and the “America First” movement.

Reviews
Praise for Bannon: American Street Fighter:
"Steve Bannon is one of the most persecuted men in America because he is one of the only individuals who has seen the inside of the corrupt establishment, walked its halls, dined with its elite, and then walked away to declare war on them for the American people. Steve Bannon is the fiery patriot spirit of 1776 in our day."—Jack Posobiec, Veteran Navy Intelligence Officer, senior editor of Human Events, and New York Times bestselling coauthor of Unhumans
"Steve Bannon is not just a founding father of MAGA and leader of a global populist nationalist movement. He is also the premier political strategist of our time, which is exactly why the Democrats conspired to put him in prison during the last four months of the 2024 presidential election. It’s the political crime of the century, and yet another example of Democrat election interference that has no place in American democracy. Free Steve Bannon, jail Merrick Garland, elect Donald Trump – that’s what justice looks like."—Peter Navarro
"It’s all there in the subtitle: American Street Fighter. Jim Proser powerfully sums up the life of this patriot, Stephen K. Bannon: A man of the people--an enemy of the deep state. A modern-day founding father who will not back down fighting for liberty and his fellow Americans. Blessed with the spirit and courage of Patrick Henry, Bannon is a streetfighter and happy warrior who’ll be on the right side of history when America’s noble story is written."—Gus Mollasis, author of Get Trump
“With the precision of a cardiac surgeon, Jim Proser has sliced through the gruff, long haired, unshaven and unkempt outward layers of Bannon’s personality to get to his heart…yes, he has one and, in spite of all his past shenanigans, it’s profoundly based on his Catholic upbringing in the Judeo-Christian ethic. Proser has done an excellent job of unveiling the many aspects of a brilliant and complex larger-than-life personality who’ll continue to be a significant influence on conservative American politics for a long time to come.”— Peter M. Fallon, Lt. Cmdr., United Stares Navy, ret.
"Steve Bannon's contribution to this country can't be quantified. He is an American hero. He's the best mentor a young politician could ask for. He's my friend, he's family.” —Royce White, NBA athlete and Senate Candidate (R-MN) 2024
“Jim Proser's new book is a masterful summary of Steve Bannon’s tumultuous life: Lieutenant on a US Navy destroyer, Wall Street buccaneer at Goldman Sachs, independent financial dealmaker, Tea Party promoter, filmmaker, prominent participant in the Trump Presidential saga, US political prisoner, and much more…this is a fascinating story.”—Dr. Will Happer, Cyrus Fogg Brackett Professor Emeritus in the Department of Physics at Princeton University and Deputy Assistant to President Trump, National Security Council
“From his humble beginnings to his rise as Chief Executive Officer of the 2016 Trump Campaign and on to Chief Strategist and Senior Counselor to President Trump in the White House, Steve has always represented and stood for ‘the Forgotten Man’. This book is a must read for those seeking the truth behind Steve’s background as well as providing guidance and inspiration of how each of us can and must play a vital role in making history.”—MaryBeth Bannon
"This book is like a stick of dynamite to wake a sleeping populace with a call to courage, honor, and patriotism for such a time as this. Fortuitously, Proser poignantly portrays what such qualities look like -- in the life of Steve Bannon."—Hutz H. Hertzberg, D.Min; PhD, Chief Education Officer, Turning Point Academy
"Jim Proser gives us a brilliant look into a man whom I knew very little about. From accomplished naval officer to Trump advisor, Bannon is a deep dive into this very complex individual, giving me a better understanding of who he is and why. Very well done." —Lorraine Baker, disabled United States Navy veteran
