Everything Everywhere Daily - Operation Dragoon

In the summer of 1944, the Allied forces planned an audacious amphibious landing on the beaches of France.

It involved hundreds of ships, over a hundred thousand men, and meticulous planning. 

Those who landed would face fierce resistance from entrenched German forces. 

…and I am not talking about D-Day and the invasion of Normandy.

Learn about Operation Dragoon and the invasion of Southern France on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Susan Choi’s ‘Flashlight’ is about an alternate-universe version of her own family

A 10-year-old girl, Louisa, and her father take a walk on breakwater in Japan, where her family is living. Louisa is later found on a beach – her father has disappeared. She and her mother are left on their own – but the tragedy doesn't bring them closer together, at least for a long time. Susan Choi's new novel Flashlight follows this family across generations and a vast historical expanse. In today's episode, Choi speaks with NPR's Scott Simon about why her protagonist fends off love, her interest in the historical tensions between Korea and Japan, and the benefit of writing in chronological order.
