Summary
The highly anticipated portrait of three generations of the Sackler family， by the prize-winning， bestselling author of Say Nothing
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 to the arts and 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。
Empire of Pain is a masterpiece of narrative reporting and writing， exhaustively documented and ferociously compelling。

The article that the book expanded from。https://www。newyorker。com/magazine/20。。。BTW， I noticed a tactic in the ratings for this book below that I usually see Christian fundamentalists use。 They "join" GR for a day in order to give low ratings to books they don't like， without reading them。 There seem to be some Sackler apologists here who have done the same。 The article that the book expanded from。https://www。newyorker。com/magazine/20。。。BTW， I noticed a tactic in the ratings for this book below that I usually see Christian fundamentalists use。 They "join" GR for a day in order to give low ratings to books they don't like， without reading them。 There seem to be some Sackler apologists here who have done the same。 。。。more
