About this ebook
Before the movie, this is the novel that gave life to Hawkeye Pierce, Trapper John, Hot Lips Houlihan, Frank Burns, Radar O'Reilly, and the rest of the gang that made the 4077th MASH like no other place in Korea or on earth.
The doctors who worked in the Mobile Army Surgical Hospitals (MASH) during the Korean War were well trained but, like most soldiers sent to fight a war, too young for the job. In the words of the author, "a few flipped their lids, but most of them just raised hell, in a variety of ways and degrees."
For fans of the movie and the series alike, here is the original version of that perfectly corrupt football game, those martini-laced mornings and sexual escapades, and that unforgettable foray into assisted if incompleted suicide—all as funny and poignant now as they were before they became a part of America's culture and heart.

It's hard for me to choose whether I have enjoy the book or the TV series more. Both are amazing, and I highly recommend both! The story includes topnotch army surgeons working under impossible conditions but on their free time, they release stress with jokes and pranks. I praise Richard Hooker for creating such a wonderful story!

Read the story that started it all! Before the movie and the television series, there was a book. M.A.S.H is a great read! You get to know the characters better with the book. I love it! It is a must have to read book, afterall, it took the poor author 17 tries to get someone to publish it. ☺
