H. Richard Hornberger (February 1, 1924 – November 4, 1997) was an American writer and surgeon, born in Trenton, New Jersey, who wrote under the pseudonym Richard Hooker. His most famous work was his novel MASH (1968), based on his experiences during the Korean War and written in collaboration with W. C. Heinz. It was later used as the basis for a critically and commercially successful movie (1970) and television series (1972–1983). His experiences at the 8055th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital were the background for his novel MASH (1968), which he worked on for eleven years. A series of books were published under Hooker's name but ghostwritten by William E. Butterworth. 

01: M*A*S*H : A Novel About Three Army Doctors (Published: 1968)
Before the movie, this is the novel that gave life to Hawkeye Pierce, Trapper John, Hot Lips Houlihan, Frank Burns, Radar O'Reilly, and the rest of the gang that made the 4077th M*A*S*H like no other place in Korea or on earth. The doctors who worked in the Mobile Army Surgical Hospitals (M*A*S*H) during the Korean War were well trained but, like most soldiers sent to fight a war, too young for the job. In the words of the author, "a few flipped their lids, but most of them just raised hell, in a variety of ways and degrees." For fans of the movie and the series alike, here is the original version of that perfectly corrupt football game, those martini-laced mornings and sexual escapades, and that unforgettable foray into assisted if incompleted suicide--all as funny and poignant now as they were before they became a part of America's culture and heart.

Who else would connive to send a forty-year-old lobsterman to medical school - on a football scholarship? Or have a bear and an eighty-year-old physician tried for rape? Or maneuver a prostitute named Graveyard Alice into bed with a bird - even if he is the Greatest Black-Headed Grosbeak of Them All? They did it all - and plenty more - and the result, well ... is the town of Spruce Harbor still standing?
