NPR's Book of the Day - ‘Fatherhood’ traces a history of masculinity, from Aristotle to Sigmund Freud

Historian Augustine Sedgewick became a father in the summer of 2017. At the time, media events like the Bill Cosby trial were publicly challenging ideals of masculinity and fatherhood. Motivated by care for his son, Sedgewick began to research the history of masculinity and the figure of the dad. His new book Fatherhood approaches the topic through historical examples, from figures like Aristotle and Henry VIII to the work of Sigmund Freud. In today's episode, Sedgewick tells NPR's Steve Inskeep that men – like women – face impossible standards as parents, but are less likely to talk about them.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The French Army Mutinies of 1917

In late May and early June of 1917, the French Army faced what could have been an extensive crisis. 

After three years of some of the most brutal conflict that the world had ever seen, many soldiers had had enough. 

Thousands of troops refused to obey orders and refused to go along with the suicidal attacks that were the hallmark of trench warfare. 

In response, the French turned to one of their greatest heroes to solve the problem.

Learn more about the French Army Mutinies of 1917 on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto (Encore)

In the Pacific Theater in World War II, the leader of the combined Japanese fleet was Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto. 

Yamamoto was villanized as the arch-enemy of the American forces in the Pacific, and to be fair, he was their enemy. 


But there is actually much more to the story. Yamamoto was the loudest voice against going to war with the United States and was one of only a few officials in the Japanese leadership who spent time in the United States and understood the country. 

Learn more about Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, his rise and tragic end on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
