The Quest for the Perfect Weapon – with Jeff Stern
Jeff Stern, reporter and author of The Warhead, combines investigative journalism and storytelling. He traces the origins of precision weapons, from early remote-bomb attempts to Texas Instruments’ laser-guided innovations. He probes the paradox of “surgical” strikes, how targeting shifts warfare and information battles, and how covering conflict reshaped his role and craft.
