If you are a fan of Patrick Radden Keefe’s ‘Empire of Pain’ and were similarly consumed by the tale of the Sackler family and the roots of the opioid crisis， this book will probably interest you as well。 The authors， Washington Post investigative journalists， are digging deeper into one part of this story – the DEA fight against Big Pharma and distributors responsible for selling millions of pills to Americans。 It is a well-written， fast-paced book that reads like a thriller。 You will find here If you are a fan of Patrick Radden Keefe’s ‘Empire of Pain’ and were similarly consumed by the tale of the Sackler family and the roots of the opioid crisis， this book will probably interest you as well。 The authors， Washington Post investigative journalists， are digging deeper into one part of this story – the DEA fight against Big Pharma and distributors responsible for selling millions of pills to Americans。 It is a well-written， fast-paced book that reads like a thriller。 You will find here even more examples of the moral corruption of the pharmaceutical business and its connection to DC politics。 Unfortunately， the problem is widespread and while the Sackers may be the most famous case， thanks to Radden Keefe’s investigation， their behavior， unfortunately， is not isolated nor uncommon。 Thanks to the publisher， Twelve Books， and NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book。 。。。more

The opioid crisis is the gift that keeps on giving， a whack-a-mole reality show。 Generic drug manufacturers， distributors， pharmacies， pain clinics， and really anyone involved with the distribution of "legal" prescription pain relievers has weighed the cost of incurring multi-million dollar fines for knowingly flooding America with addictive drugs， versus the benefit of billions in profits to be made。 Two Washington Post reporters carry the story beyond the Purdue Pharma/Sackler family scandal r The opioid crisis is the gift that keeps on giving， a whack-a-mole reality show。 Generic drug manufacturers， distributors， pharmacies， pain clinics， and really anyone involved with the distribution of "legal" prescription pain relievers has weighed the cost of incurring multi-million dollar fines for knowingly flooding America with addictive drugs， versus the benefit of billions in profits to be made。 Two Washington Post reporters carry the story beyond the Purdue Pharma/Sackler family scandal right up to the lobbyists working Congress to defang the DEA， the legal guns for hire， and our failed legal system， that jails the little guy， but not the powerful people who created our modern death by overdose society。 I could not put it down。 。。。more
