Patrick Radden Keefe, Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty (2021)Read about another entry on the list.
From investigative journalist, staff writer at the New Yorker, and author of bestselling and award-winning Say Nothing, Patrick Radden Keefe’s Empire of Pain tells the history of the family behind Purdue Pharma, painting “a devastating portrait of a family consumed by greed and unwilling to take the slightest responsibility or show the least sympathy for what it wrought” that is “all the more damning for its stark lucidity” (NYT). Empire of Pain is the history of the perpetrators, the Sackler Family.
