Tom Reilly (author)

Tom Reilly (born 1960) is an Irish author and newspaper columnist, who has written books on Oliver Cromwell and on God and religion, as well as a book based on his own newspaper columns. He has paid to have his works published by the Canadian vanity press, Trafford Publishing.

Reilly was born in Drogheda, Republic of Ireland. His best-known work is "Cromwell - An Honourable Enemy: The Untold Story of the Cromwellian Invasion of Ireland" (1999), which though generally well received is perhaps more famous for the controversy over its authors position on Oliver Cromwell and the Irish campaign. [ [http://web.archive.org/web/20010221184835/http://www.historyireland.com/resources/reviews/review1.html Eugene Coyle. Review of "Cromwell - An Honourable Enemy." "History Ireland"] , which concludes "There is a need for a new book on the Irish Cromwellian campaign but unfortunately but this is not it"."] [John Morrill. "Rewriting Cromwell: A Case of Deafening Silences." "Canadian Journal of History." Dec. 2003: page 19, which says "A major attempt at rehabilitation was attempted by Tom Reilly, Cromwell: An Honourable Enemy (London, 1999) but this has been largely rejected by other scholars". ] [ "... an important book ... scrupulous in [his] examination of evidence ... assiduous in research and [he] quotes primary sources extensively. Above all, he understands that the past should not be judged by the standards and fashions of the 1990s." " (London Sunday Times)]
