Local author writes 10th book on American Revolution

Michael Cecere, a resident of Montclair, former board president for Historic Dumfries, VA, and a current American History teacher in Fairfax County and Northern Virginia Community College, has written his tenth book on the American Revolution.

The book, entitled, A Universal Appearance of War: The Revolutionary War in Virginia, 1775-1781, chronicles the war in Virginia from start to finish. Cecere sheds light, and recognition, on many overlooked Virginia engagements. Readers will discover that although the war started off modestly in Virginia, it concluded with a dramatic flourish that required bold action and some good fortune for the allies to succeed.
