This October, Book Support will be discussing the 2021 book Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty by Patrick Radden Keefe.
“This is no dense medical tome, but a page-turner with a villainous family to rival the Roys in Succession, and one where every chapter ends with the perfect bombshell.” – Esquire
Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty examines the history of the Sackler family, including the founding of Purdue Pharma, their role in the marketing of pharmaceuticals, and the family’s central role in the opioid epidemic.
