My account of Crean's life focuses almost entirely on Tom Crean and rarely deviates from his life and career.
During my research I unearthed a host of new information about Crean that had never before been published. I also discovered that a previous account of his life written by Michael Smith, contained a number of inaccuracies and was missing a host of signifiant events, assignments and people who played a part in Crean's story. To check out some of what I discovered, check out the following post - https://tomcreanbook.com/tom-crean-the-facts-from-the-fiction/
I submitted all of my research to the Royal Irish Academy and after examination they confirmed that substantial changes were to be made to the official entry for Crean in the Dictionary of Irish Biography, in light of what I had found.
