Ted Arthurs didn’t watch the Vietnam War from afar—he lived every brutal, blistering moment of it. From May 1967 to May 1968, as Command Sergeant Major of an airborne infantry battalion, he carried eighty pounds of gear through the triple-canopy jungles of the Central Highlands, leading men through ambushes, monsoons, and the constant threat of death.
His unit was nicknamed the Fireball Brigade for a reason: they went where the fighting burned hottest. Arthurs’s mission was simple but impossible—bring as many of his eight hundred soldiers home alive as he could.
Land With No Sun is a raw, unflinching account of courage, leadership, and the human cost of war, told by a decorated soldier who survived it.
