Description
A grand and devastating portrait of the Sackler family, whose fortune was built on the success of Valium and whose reputation was destroyed by OxyContin. This book follows the family's early success with the sedative Valium to their later, more lucrative venture with the painkiller OxyContin, and the devastating consequences that followed. The Sackler dynasty's history is marked by drama, bitter disputes, and ruthless tactics, as they sought to maintain their power and reputation. From the streets of early twentieth-century Brooklyn to the corridors of power in Washington, D.C., the family's story is one of calculated ambition and devastating consequences. Through meticulous research and narrative reportage, the author reveals the complex and often sinister forces that drove the Sackler family's success and downfall.
