The United States of America: Suspension of mail services to other countries in Wartime, Revolution and Civil Commotion
by Robert Johnson
The article mostly concerns civilian mails to, through or from United States citizens or residents which were affected by events of a military or a revolutionary nature and is not intended to be descriptive of mails to or from soldiers, sailors or airmen. The article deals with the American Civil War, the Spanish American War of 1898, the first and second World Wars and their aftermath, the Korean War,the events in Hungary in 1956 and the invasion of the Falkland Islands. It ends with the postal wars of the 1960s, the problems in Iran in 1979, trade union disputes, subversive activities and fraudulent mail. There are very useful appendices listing the conflicts for which suspended mail should exist and giving the dates when the mail was suspended to various countries. There are 41 figures illustrating covers with service suspended markings.
