Reviewed by Anne Boling for Readers' Favorite

I haven’t seen the movie yet. It stars Brad Pitt.

The setting is the country side of France.

This book opens with Nazi brutality. The reader watches as a Jewish family is murdered. Only the teenage daughter, Shosanna, escapes.

Lt. Aldo Raine is a Jewish American Soldier for Tennessee. He plans to send a message to Hitler. He forms a group of eight men willing and eager to kill Nazis. Each man is expect t scalp at least 100 Nazis. Shosanna joins the Basterds and form a plan. The group disguises themselves as civilians in German occupied France. They accomplish their mission well. They always allow one soldier to live so that he can tell others. The Germans nickname the group Basterds.

This is a fictional account. The violence is brutal. The action never stops. This is a what if book. What if a group of men wracked havoc on the Nazi…. As soon as I read this book I placed this movie in my movie queue.
