The Impossible Country: A Journey Through the Last Days of Yugoslavia

â€œA tragic portrait . . . presented with sympathy and frequently with humor . . . [of] a disparate people who were never united except by their resentment of a foreign conqueror.â€ â€“ Atlantic Monthly

In The Impossible Country, Brian Hall relates his encounters with Serbs, Croats, and Muslimsâ€” â€œreal people, likeable peopleâ€ who are now overcome with suspicion and anxiety about one another. Hall takes the standard explanations, the punditsâ€™ predictions, and the evening news footage and inverts our perceptions of the country, its politics, its history, and its seemingly insoluble animosities.
