Robert was born on January 2, 1916, in Vienna, Austria.
Neumann received degrees from the University of Rennes, the Consular Academy of Austria, the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva, Switzerland (formerly Institut universitaire de hautes études internationales, HEI) and the University of Michigan.
In 1940 he received a Master of Arts from Amherst College. In 1946 he earned his Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota.
During his studies in Geneva, Neumann was arrested by the Nazis and spent two years in a concentration camp. Upon his release, he left for America. After a brief stint teaching at the State Teachers' College in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, Neumann enlisted and served during World War II. Upon his return, he took up a job teaching political science at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. In 1947 he took a post at the University of California at Los Angeles, where he eventually became a tenured professor.
He was named an ambassador to Afghanistan in 1966. By 1970, Neumann felt compelled to remain at work at the Embassy and resigned his professorship at the school.
After serving in Afghanistan, Neumann became the ambassador to Morocco in 1973. Upon his return to Washington in 1976, he began teaching again at Georgetown University, while taking the director's helm of the Institute for the Study of Diplomacy.
In 1981 he became United States Ambassador to Saudi Arabia. He was fired by the Secretary of State Alexander Haig after only two months on the job. Several theories circulated about his firing, a popular one being that Haig let him go because he had criticized Haig to a senator. After leaving his appointed post he joined the Georgetown University Center for Strategic and International Studies.
He was a guest lecturer at several schools including the University of Vienna and the University of Munich.
Neumann died in 1999 in Bethesda, Maryland at the age of 83.
Robert Gerhard Neumann was known as the United States Ambassador to Afghanistan, Morocco, and Saudi Arabia. His knowledge of foreign policy resulted in three books: European and Comparative Government, The Government of the German Federal Republic, and Toward a More Effective Executive-Legislative Relationship in the Conduct of America’s Foreign Policy. Neumann also contributed to American Government Annual, Collier's Encyclopedia and to professional journals in Europe.
