Best known for his controversial novel of adolescence I'll Get There. It Better Be Worth the Trip, Donovan is also responsible for this Watership Down-style tale of lab chimps who, led by an enigmatic gorilla named Moses, escape to rediscover their primal nature in the wilds of Connecticut. Now out of print, it deserved significantly more attention than it got.
BRANDYWINE'S WAR by Robert Vaughan and Monroe Lynch
A MASH-style send up of the uber-bureaucratized world of a forward fire-base in 1970s vietnam, although instead of surgeons, the "heroes" are a bunch of slovenly chopper jocks. Sick, profane, brilliant and unabashedly funny.
