Here's the lowdown on the unforgettable show about the Forgotten War. M*A*S*H began as a novel written by a surgeon who had been in a Mobile Army Surgical Hospital during the Korean War. After being rejected multiple times, the novel would go on to become a bestseller, leading to 14 sequels, an Oscar-winning movie that propelled its director and actors to stardom, and a multiple-Emmy-winning television series that lasted nearly four times the length of the war.
MASH FAQ looks at how the novel came to be, its follow-ups in literary form, the creation of the popular movie, and – most importantly – the television series that transformed comedy and television in the 1970s. Included are chapters on the top-20 pranks of M*A*S*H, the cast members' careers before and after the television show, famous guest appearances, and movies shown in the mess hall.
Beyond the fiction, MASH FAQ also features a brief chapter to put the war into perspective for easy referral – and looks at what led to the Korean War, how such medical units functioned, and how M*A*S*H shaped our perception of the era.

Dale Sherman (Louisville, Kentucky) became a fan of M*A*S*H when the TV series first aired in 1972 and has been following it through its various incarnations ever since. Dale has written many books about music, movies, and television, including KISS FAQ and Quentin Tarantino FAQ. MASH FAQ is his tenth book.
''It began as a best-selling novel written by a U.S. Army surgeon about his experiences in the Korean War, became an Oscar-winning movie and then morphed into one of the most beloved, awarded, iconic TV shows of all time. Dale Sherman's MASH FAQ (Applause) serves up everything a fan could ever want know about the world of M*A*S*H, including before-and-after chapters on the TV cast members, famous guest appearances, lists and trivia.'' --Parade
If you enjoy the MASH franchise, or feel like revisiting a great film/book/series, for nostalgia reasons or to see if it's as good as you remember it then MASH FAQ is a great place to start, and a thorough ode to a concept that continues to win fans. --Entertainment Focus
