Pleysier to sign book about Henry VIII in Demorest

DEMOREST - The Piedmont College Bookstore will hold a book signing at 3 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 22, for the publication of history professor Dr. Al Pleysier's new book, "Henry VIII and the Anabaptists." The event will be held in the Mason-Scharfenstein Museum of Art, adjacent to the bookstore at 567 Georgia Street in Demorest.<br /> <br /> The book follows the first Anabaptists in Switzerland as they search for religious freedom across Europe and into England, ruled by Henry VIII. Intolerant of religious diversity and sensitive to potential threats to his political authority, Henry's suppression of the Anabaptists leaves them with two choices: recant or burn.<br /> <br /> A professor of history at Piedmont since 1982, Pleysier is the author of five books on Russian history and World War II.
