Tomáš Krystlík, born in 1947 in Prague, Czechoslovakia, is a Czech-German writer, journalist and lecturer (in Czech National Library, with Petr Pithart. He is the author of large number of papers and essays on Czech-German relations and the Expulsion of Germans after World War II from the Sudetenland.

Krystlík worked for Radio Free Europe until the station was moved from Munich to Prague and for a number of Czech language magazines.

His latest historical book "Zamlcene dejiny" is questioning official version of last 90 years of Czech history. Krystlik is achieving the greatest impact not by inserting his own opinions (there are virtualy none in the book), but by meticulous comparing of works previous history writers and memoirs of historical personalities. The book gathered storm and anger from nationalist readership and Krystlik became a target of hateful personal attacks (live, phone, internet), similar to famous case of Salman Rushdie and subject of many web "discussions" [1]
