Foyle's War

Foyle's War
by Anthony Horowitz

As World War II rages over Europe, Detective Chief Superintendent Christopher Foyle fights his own battles against murder, conspiracy and intrigue on the homefront of the south coast of England. Although the stories are fictitious, they are all inspired by historical events that happened during the war. The main character of Foyle was created by writer Anthony Foyle with actor Michael Kitchen in mind. Kitchen also helped to create the character of Foyle through his meticulous portrayal of the Chief Superintendent. The interactions of the three main characters (Foyle, Sam and Milner) are what makes this dramatization stand out above others. At this time, the series has had six installments, all worthy of viewing. I highly recommend this DVD set.
