In 'Empire of Pain', Patrick Radden Keefe chronicles the Sackler family's saga, from their beginnings to their role in the opioid crisis. The story reveals how this dynasty built a pharmaceutical empire through the aggressive marketing of painkillers like OxyContin, generating huge profits at the expense of public health. Keefe examines the Sacklers' philanthropy, used to cleanse their image, while delving into the devastating consequences of opioid addiction in America. This book is an exhaustive investigation into corporate greed and accountability in the pharmaceutical industry.
