  • In the Best Books of the Year Selection at the New York Times Book Review, Washington Post, Time, NPR, Boston Globe, Amazon, Goodreads and Guardian They lied until the last moment. They made their fortune, down to the last penny, from addiction, shattered lives and terrible deaths... Thanks to their generous donations, the name Sackler was written on the walls of the world's most important museums and universities. The dazzling profile they drew would be enough to mask their dark minds and the brutality they created on the path to wealth. Until... The story began in the early 20th century, when three brothers from a poor family in Brooklyn founded an advertising agency that would revolutionize health marketing. Their first success was to make the post-war generation dependent on tranquilizers. Nearly forty years from now, the same skills and unconscionability will give the next generation of Sacklers a leading role in one of history's greatest health crises; OxyContin, the miracle painkiller they launched with the claim of a reliable alternative to morphine, would introduce the family to an indescribable fortune and America to the opioid epidemic. The drug, which they aggressively marketed by manipulating control mechanisms and downplaying the drug's risk of addiction, turned millions of people worried about their pain into opioid addicts over time. But the Sacklers refused until the last moment; While more people die from opioid overdoses each year from traffic accident losses, they insisted the problem is with users, not the drug. This book is the story of the rise and fall of a dynasty that built an empire on suffering while remaining indifferent to suffering. Unbridled capitalism is the embodiment of deadly alliance and greed between unbridled lobbying and a shattered healthcare system. There aren't that many 'no more!' there is a moment when you say that you read almost the entire book with your mouth open. -Sunday Times You almost feel guilty for enjoying it so much. -The Times Master's work -Guardian Wonderful -New York Times Show more
