Everything Everywhere Daily - The Paraguayan War

In the 1860s, one of the bloodiest wars in the Western Hemisphere took place….and it wasn’t the US Civil War. 

It was a war between Paraguay and an alliance of Uruguay, Argentina, and Brazil, and it was one of the bloodiest ever fought in Latin America.

It was a conventional war that resulted in a guerilla war, which spawned famine and disease.

Learn more about the Paraguayan War or the War of the Triple Alliance on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘Building Material’ is the memoir of a Park Avenue doorman

Stephen Bruno is a doorman for a high-end building on Manhattan's Park Avenue, where he's worked for 14 years. Bruno says that while he treats every occupant like his boss, he routinely blurs professional boundaries by forming close friendships with his residents. Now, those friendships–and the many other stories from Bruno's building–form the basis of his new memoir, Building Material. In today's episode, Bruno speaks with NPR's Scott Simon about taking notes on the job, breaking the "don't get close rule," and a documentary about August Wilson that saved his writing career.
