“Charles Reilly’s ‘Man of Letters’ is an outstanding collection of his published submissions to the ‘Los Angeles Times’. Timely, reflective, the good, the bad and the ugly. No quarter given, no quarter asked. A great read.”
—Gary Linderer – Author of “Eyes Behind the Lines” and “Phantom Warriors.”
“Charles Reilly might not want to be called a scholar, but he is one—and a good one. He is an excellent writer and fearlessly writes what he thinks. Though I may sometimes disagree with some part of what he writes, he always makes me think and often helps me change my mind. He not only writes what he thinks, but he always knows well the things he writes about.”
—Kenn Miller - Author of “Six Silent Men: Book Two” and “Tiger the Lurp Dog.”
