Mash by Richard Hooker
A Novel About Three Army Doctors
Set in a Korean War mobile army surgical hospital, the novel follows a trio of irreverent surgeons whose black humor, pranks, and rule-breaking are their way of coping with the constant stream of brutal battlefield injuries; through episodic scenes of emergency surgery, gags, and clashes with officious superiors, it satirizes military bureaucracy while showing the camaraderie, resilience, and moral complexities of doctors trying to save lives in an absurd, violent wartime environment.
