MASH, the book, movie and television series, is certainly not a fraud. They are based on real life (fictionalized) events of the first Korean MASH unit (July 1950). The book is written by Robert Hooker, and actual surgeon from MASH 8055. The story lines of the first several years of the CBS television series were taken from memories by actual former army personnel assigned to MASH units.
