M*A*S*H (TV Milestones) (TV Milestones Series)
David Scott Diffrient offers a well-researched and historically grounded assessment of a show whose influence on the larger popular culture is beyond dispute. The author's delight with M*A*S*H shines through, but not at the expense of addressing some of the weaknesses and contradictions he finds in select episodes. This volume belongs in the reference library of all serious scholars of American cultural history. --Darrell Y. Hamamoto, author of Monitored Peril: Asian Americans and the Politics of TV Representation
