M*A*S*H is a novel by Richard Hooker about army surgeons in a mobile army surgical hospital (a "MASH" unit) during the Korean War. Loosely based on his own experiences, the book is a series of episodes of three Americans coping with the pressures of war and emergency surgery and army bureaucracy. The book was made into a movie starring Elliot Gould and Donald Sutherland. A TV series based on the movie ran from 1972 to 1983. Gary Burghoff played "Radar" in both the movie and the TV series.
