I knew absolutely nothing about the Sackler family, Purdue or OxyContin when I started this book and it does a fantastic job of introducing you to this pharmaceutical dynasty, and their role in the opioid crisis in America.
I think what makes this book so unique in covering the addiction crises is that it goes back decades to the three brothers that founded Purdue Pharma and their experiences working in medicine and advertising which basically invented pharmaceutical marketing.
This book is a must read, it’s incredibly impactful and important, and covers so many essential areas of the story with such ease and grace. It’s an incredible achievement.
