The Sackler family are well known philanthropists, having donated billions of dollars over many years to the arts, science, medicine, and education. They were, until recently, also the owners of Purdue Pharma which developed OxyContin - a drug widely acknowledged as being in large part responsible for America's opioid epidemic which has caused hundreds of thousands of deaths.
In this remarkable work of investigative journalism, the family's persistent refusal to acknowledge the harm their drug was causing and their determination to maintain the billions of dollars of revenue to which they were accustomed is made very clear. It's an astonishing story of greed and wilful neglect while all around them personal tragedies were being played out every day and although it's a terrible story, I absolutely loved it. - Joan- Format: Paperback / softback
