"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.

Hot Lips Houlihan, Hawkeye Pierce, Radar O'Reilly, and other familiar characters make their first appearance in this Korean War novel about the crazy antics of the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital"-- Provided by publisher.
