This sweeping, investigative work unravels the story of the Sackler family, a dynasty whose immense wealth was built on pharmaceuticals and whose legacy became tragically intertwined with the opioid epidemic. Tracing their rise from early successes with drugs like Valium to the devastating impact of OxyContin, the book exposes a pattern of aggressive marketing and legal maneuvering designed to protect their empire. It's a compelling, meticulously researched account for anyone interested in the intersection of wealth, power, and corporate responsibility.
