Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty by Patrick Radden KeefeMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Narrated by: Patrick Radden Keefe I could not stop listening to this awful, compelling nonfiction narrative of the Sackler family and their willful brutishness about their role in the drugs they produced and actively advertised to their sales reps, doctors, and ultimately their users who often became hooked and died. For years, law was after them and for years the Sackler family used legal tactics against the government, district attorneys, and the victims (some were their own employees) that halted for investigations...but as the dying continued and the opioid crisis continued, this author relentlessly interviewed, researched and documented the continued Sackler accountability unearthing many documents, people and victim to finally bring this giant family to admit to their role and try to exact justice for the many who died or became addicted to the drugs the Sackler family created and touted. A must read!!!
