In the last seven months of the last world war Francis Carr took part in the Italian campaign as a platoon commander.

For seven year Carr edited the monthly history magazine, past and future. In each issue there was an article on future trends in a wide variety of subjects, such as population, war, medicine, women, architecture, and morality. Since 1972 Carr has written books which challenge the establishment in art history, Russian history and musicology. His new book contradicts the English and the Spanish Literary establishments, rejecting the claims of Shakespeare as the playwright and Cervantes as the author of Don Quixote. His books have been translated into German, Spanish, Italian, French, Dutch and Japanese. His books refute outdated teaching. His biography of Mozart is the only book which gives a full account of the composer's death and burial, demolishing the claim that he died of natural causes. Carr's biography of Ivan the Terrible gives, for the first time, a full account of this tyrant's savagery, unlike previous works which minimize Ivan's barbarity. In his Hstory Of Erotic Art, Carr has singled out the Christian Church as the most harmful agent in the development of the erotic.
