Give Us This Day

About this record

Give Us This Day is a seminal first-hand account of the Bataan Death March and the subsequent three and a half years of captivity endured by American soldiers during World War II. The author, Sidney Stewart, was a 21-year-old U.S. Army enlisted man and former medical student who was captured in April 1942 following the fall of Bataan. His narrative meticulously details the horrors of the "hell ships" and prison camps such as Camp O'Donnell and the Davao Penal Colony.

The book is considered valuable. It is advised that researchers use digital copy rather than physical books for preservation purposes.
