Tom Reilly (author)

Tom Reilly (born 1960) is an Irish author and former regional newspaper columnist (Life of Reilly, Drogheda Independent), who has written books on Oliver Cromwell and religion, (Hollow Be Thy Name) as well as a book based on his own newspaper columns. He has also written about the 1916 rising with his biography Joe Stanley, Printer to the Rising. Reilly is not an academic historian, and his theories about Cromwell have little support among academic historians who study the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland. Although it must equally be pointed out that no 17th century historian has so far made any serious challenge to Reilly's assertions, which he insists are based on facts, and not hyperbole or propaganda.
