Churchill said of Birkenhead "I do not think anyone knew him better than I did, and he was, after all, my dearest friend." They had been Cabinet colleagues together for nearly ten years, yet Churchill could "hardly recall any question, certainly none of any importance upon which we were not in hearty and natural agreement." (Martin Gilbert Winston S. Churchill. Volume V 1922-1939, p. 374)
