Media Reviews
"[Brian Hall] calls it a travel book, but it is more than that: it is a guide to the minds of the peoples of what was once Yugoslavia, a manual of xenophobia...He writes with warmth about people whom we have come to regard more as oppressors or as victims than as human beings...Without passing any judgments, Mr. Hall simply conveys what he hears...If after reading these wild declarations one has the feeling of being in a madhouse, it is the right feeling...The heroes of Mr. Hall's book are ordinary people, not the main actors of the Yugodrama...But The Impossible Country provides indispensable background for understanding the people who now fill the daily reports from the front lines." -- Anna Husarksa
-- New York Times Book Review

The Impossible Country: A Journey Through the Last Days of Yugoslavia
Hall, Brian
Boston: David R. Godine, 1994. (1st American edition). Hardbound. FINE/Fine. Book and DJ, as new. DJ is unpriced. Hall, a freelance American journalist, was one of the last outsiders permitted to travel freely in Yugoslavia during the final days of its existence. From early May to mid-September 1991 he questioned members of the various Balkan "tribes" in Zagreb, Belgrade, Sarajevo and points in between, listening to comments on their history, prejudices, superstitions, fears, aspirations and opinions of other ethnic and national groups. With an unbiased attitude and colorful writing style, Hall describes the last days of peaceful coexistence among Yugoslavia's religious and ethnic communities and delineates conflicts that would trigger the horrors of "ethnic cleansing" and war. In one particularly telling section, he recounts the dynamics of hatred swirling around Apparition Hill in Medjugorje, where religious pilgrims flock to witness the appearance of the Virgin. ISBN: 1567920004. ( more information) Offered by Rainy Day Paperback Exchange (United States)
