I loved MASH back in the day, even if at times I might have been too young to fully grasp the themes.

Frederick Forsyth.
Author of The Day of the Jackal and much much more. Didn't know he was a top-notch journalist who reported on and publicized the Biafran war in Nigeria when other media outlets had failed to do so.

Author of my favourite ever book, The Devil's Alternative. I mentioned it elsewhere, maybe in the book thread.
