NEW YORK — Caleb Carr, the scarred and gifted son of Beat poet Lucien Carr who endured a traumatizing childhood and became a bestselling novelist, accomplished military historian and late-life memoirist of his devoted cat, Masha, has died at 68. Carr died of cancer Thursday, according to an announcement from his publisher, Little, Brown and Company.

Carr was so successful a novelist that his background as a military historian became obscured, or even trivialized. He taught military history at Bard College, was a contributing editor to the Quarterly Journal of Military History and had a close relationship with the scholar James Crace, with whom he wrote “America Invulnerable: The Quest for Absolute Security from 1812 to Star Wars.” Carr had written for years about possible terrorism against the U.S.
