"[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."Hall, Brian is the author of 'Impossible Country A Journey Through the Last Days of Yugoslavia', published 1994 under ISBN 9781567920000 and ISBN 1567920004.
