Book Review by From Library Journal: "The popular television series MASH owes its historical accuracy in part to Apel chief surgeon of the 8076th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital in 1951 and consultant on the show. Here Apel with son Pat expands on the themes common to the television episodes and familiar to viewers: the severe working conditions the irreverence hospital staff often had for army protocol and the insufficiency of necessary supplies. Apel outlines the historical and political forces that created these conditions and ironically the considerable advances in emergency medical care made during the Korean War. Although his work is heavily autobiographical Apel draws from primary and secondary Korean War literature to provide statistics and documentation. Personal photos appear throughout the text. Well written and researched this book provides entertainment as well as historical value and is appropriate for both public and academic settings. ": 6.25 x 9.25 In.: 222 pages .

There has been a Prize Plate affixed to the front paste down and at some stage a previous owner has scrubbed out the name and date of winning of book to the point where the underlying board is visible. There is a small tear to the front fore edge of the free front in paper. No publication dates or data is readily available but given the decoration and style of book my guess would be early 20th century.
