A review by booknallnight
Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty by Patrick Radden Keefe

fast-paced

5.0

Just wow...it's not often I give a Non-Fiction 5 stars but Empire of Pain deserves it. Absolutely shocking the lengths this family took to avoid taking any responsibility, not to mention everyone involved that helped them do so.

This is a definite eye-opener. I especially appreciate the Afterword where the author gives more insight into his dealings with the Sacklers, his research and resources. I feel like this is a must read. It's well written, and easy to follow. Doesn't feel like a 500+ of book either. Highly recommend.

I sincerely appreciate the publisher for the review copy. All opinions expressed are my own.
