HERBERT J. SPIRO
The US Ambassador to Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea signs this First Day Cover honoring the Prisoners of War
First day cover signed: "Herbert J. Spiro" in blue ink. 6½x3½. First Day Cover honoring U.S. Servicemen, Prisoners of War, Missing and Killed in Action. Postmarked Montgomery, Alabama, November 24, 1970. Two 6c stamps affixed, FIRST DAY OF ISSUE. Herbert John Spiro (1924-2010) was an American political scientist and diplomat. Born in Hamburg, Germany to Jewish parents, he and his family fled after the events of Kristallnacht. After moving to the US and earning a Ph.D. from Harvard, he taught at Amherst College and the University of Pennsylvania. He then joined the Department of State as a member of the Policy Planning Staff in 1970. During the Ford administration, he served as United States Ambassador to Cameroon and to Equatorial Guinea. Spiro's accreditation to Equatorial Guinea lasted only about half a year, however, as the country declared him persona non grata in March 1976. Spiro also authored thirteen works on politics and government. Toned. Lightly creased throughout. Adhesive residue on bottom margin. Pencil note (unknown hand) on bottom left corner. Ink notes (unknown hand) on verso. Otherwise, fine condition.
