Description
The Sackler dynasty's story is one of grandeur and devastation. From their humble beginnings to their rise as one of the world's richest families, the Sacklers' fortunes were built on the back of a blockbuster painkiller that would have far-reaching consequences. At the heart of the Sackler family's success were three brothers, who weathered poverty and anti-Semitism to build a pharmaceutical empire. Their story is marked by drama, bitter disputes, and calculated use of money to shape their reputations. The Sacklers' philanthropic efforts have adorned the walls of many esteemed institutions, but the true source of their wealth remains a complex and troubling tale. This book is a gripping portrait of the Sackler dynasty, from their early days as struggling doctors to their rise as masters of the pharmaceutical industry.
