This comprehensive handbook delves into the intricate personal relationships between American presidents and British prime ministers, seeking to ascertain the impact of personal diplomacy on the Anglo-American alliance and whether individual leaders played a role in making it "special." Spanning from the era of great reconciliation in the 1890s to the Cold War and the contemporary era of transatlantic rapport, the Anglo-American relationship has assumed global significance, placing presidents and prime ministers at the forefront of international security, trade, commerce, culture, and communication. Naturally, it delves into the ideas, convictions, political parties, and media-constructed political images of these leaders, exploring how these perceptions may differ from the realities of the Anglo-American relationship. By gaining a deeper understanding of these political figures and the connections they forge with their counterparts, we gain valuable insights into the dynamics of transatlantic statecraft, thereby enhancing our appreciation of this pivotal alliance.
