The inspiration behind the Netflix tv series Painkillers, starring
Uzo Aduba and Matthew Broderick THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER Now on
BBC Radio 4 'Book of the Week' Winner of the 2021 Baillie Gifford
Prize for Non-Fiction Shortlisted for the 2021 Financial
Times/McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award One of Barack
Obama's Favorite Books of 2021 Shortlisted for the Crime Writers'
Association Gold Dagger for Non-Fiction The gripping and shocking
story of three generations of the Sackler family and their roles in
the stories of Valium, OxyContin and the opioid crisis. 'One of
those authors I will always read, no matter what the subject
matter, which is why I gobbled up Empire of Pain . . . a
masterclass in compelling narrative nonfiction.' - Elizabeth Day,
The Guardian '30 Best Summer Reads' 'You feel almost guilty for
enjoying it so much' - The Times The Sackler name adorns the walls
of many storied institutions - Harvard; the Metropolitan Museum of
Art; Oxford; the Louvre. They are one of the richest families in
the world, known for their lavish donations in the arts and the
sciences. The source of the family fortune was vague, however,
until it emerged that the Sacklers were responsible for making and
marketing Oxycontin, a blockbuster painkiller that was a catalyst
for the opioid crisis - an international epidemic of drug addiction
which has killed nearly half a million people. In this masterpiece
of narrative reporting and writing, award-winning journalist and
host of the Wind of Change podcast Patrick Radden Keefe
exhaustively documents the jaw-dropping and ferociously compelling
reality. Empire of Pain is the story of a dynasty: a parable of
twenty-first-century greed.
