According to the War Cabinet records, Churchill also told his colleagues that the "United States Administration were tackling war problems with the greatest vigour, and were clearly resolved not to be diverted from using all the resources of their country to the utmost to crush Hitler, our major enemy." Then, in an interesting sign of a lingering British sense of strategic superiority to their former colonies, Churchill said he thought the Americans "were not above learning from us, provided that we did not set out to teach them."

Churchill flew into New Hackensack Churchill, The Hinge of Fate, 377. These June days, from Churchill's drive with Roosevelt to the events surrounding the fall of Tobruk, offer perhaps the most telling example of the link between the personal and the political for the prime minister and the president. My version draws heavily on Churchill's own account in his memoirs, which, like his later portrait of the conference at Teheran, is an unusually revealing and thorough sketch of his feelings, the political and military stakes, and-in this case more so than at Teheran-the affection he felt for (and from) Roosevelt. Churchill's own testimony about the effect of Roosevelt's generosity, b.u.t.tressed by Brooke, Ismay, Moran, and Colville, shows this to be a critical moment in the friends.h.i.+p-an instance, as I describe it in the narrative, of one of the men drawing strength from the other.
