Explores the Pilgrims Society and its role in pioneering
Anglo-American public diplomacyLabelled by an Irish-American
newspaper in 1906 as a 'nondescript aggregation of degenerate
Americans, Britishers and Jews', the Pilgrims Society has long
excited the imaginations of conspiracy theorists. Founded in London
in 1902, this upper-class dining club acted to bring Britain and
the USA closer together in political, diplomatic and cultural
terms. Drawing on rich archival research, this book explores how
this elite network whose members included J. P. Morgan and Andrew
Carnegie attempted to influence the Anglo-American relationship in
the days before it became 'special'.A series of original case
studies, focusing on the proceedings and wider diplomatic
significance of lavish banquets held across the period at iconic
New York and London hotels like the Waldorf-Astoria and the Savoy,
provide unique insights into the Pilgrims Society's activities.
Bowman challenges existing orthodoxies about the origins of public
diplomacy and shows that it was only through the earlier work of
semi-official organisations operating within a state-private nexus
that greater governmental involvement in public diplomacy was
legitimised.
