Tom Reilly (author)

Tom Reilly (born 1960) is an Irish author and newspaper columnist (Life of Reilly, Drogheda Independent), who has written books on Oliver Cromwell and religion, as well as a book based on his own newspaper columns among others. To date in total, he has published eight books, two of which have been conventionally published, the other six have been self-published.

A native of Drogheda, County Louth, Reilly is a director of a local printing company called Burex Manufacturing Ltd. of Dunleer, Louth, and a founder director of the Myteam.ie brand, which launched in late 2008. He spent most of his working life in the printing and allied trades and is an avid local historian.

Reilly's best-known work on Cromwell is the highly contentious tome, Cromwell – An Honourable Enemy: The Untold Story of the Cromwellian Invasion of Ireland (1999), which holds that Cromwell did not intentionally target civilians during the campaign.
