"Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty" by Patrick Radden Keefe is an investigative exploration of the Sackler family's role in the opioid crisis. The book chronicles the rise of the Sacklers, focusing on Arthur Sackler, who revolutionized pharmaceutical advertising, laying groundwork for the aggressive marketing strategies that would later be employed by Purdue Pharma, the company behind OxyContin. Keefe meticulously documents how the Sackler family amassed their wealth and reputation through a combination of philanthropic efforts and the controversial promotion of prescription drugs. He delves into the development and marketing of OxyContin, revealing how Purdue Pharma downplayed its addictive potential while emphasizing its benefits, contributing to widespread opioid addiction and deaths. The book highlights the morally ambiguous and often secretive actions of the family, drawing attention to their persistent efforts to distance themselves from the crisis while maintaining their vast fortune. Keefe's narrative is both a family saga and a searing indictment of corporate greed and regulatory failures. "Empire of Pain" offers a compelling account of power, privilege, and the human cost of a pharmaceutical empire, prompting reflection on accountability and justice in the face of public health tragedies.
