Frederick Charles Schwarz was born in Brisbane, Australia, the son of Viennese man who had emigrated to Australia after converting from Judaism to Christianity. He received degrees in Arts and Science from the University of Queensland in Brisbane, and then received a degree in Medicine. In 1953 he established his practice in his home in Strathfield, Australia, where he was both a general practitioner and psychiatrist. In 1940, he became interested in Communism, and he became an expert on Marxist-Leninist philosophy. He founded the Christian Anti-Communism Crusade, and remained its chairman until the late 1990s. At some point before the 1960s, he emigrated to Long Beach, California, taking the CACC with him to the U.S. He gave lectures and seminars across America on the subject of Communism. He also wrote three books: You Can Trust the Communists (1960), which sold well over one million copies worldwide; The Three Faces of Revolution (1972); and his autobiography, Beating the Unbeatable Foe: One Man's Victory over Communism, Leviathan, and the Last Enemy (1996).
