Delve into 'Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty' by Patrick Radden Keefe, a riveting exploration of ambition, power, and the shadows of an influential family. Keefe offers a meticulously researched chronicle of the Sackler family, whose vast fortune was built on the bedrock of the opioid crisis. This summary unveils the intricate web of their rise to power, their role in proliferating OxyContin, and the moral ambiguities that marked their empire's expansion.

Witness a family's relentless pursuit of wealth juxtaposed against the backdrop of countless lives devastated by addiction. With our concise rendition of Keefe's groundbreaking work, navigate the hidden corridors of big pharma, corporate machinations, and a dynasty's intricate dance with ethics.
