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

challenging emotional reflective sad tense slow-paced

5.0

By crafting the narrative as the story of dynasty behind Oxycodine, Radden Keefe has given us a fresh take on the opioid crisis but also a way to explore capitalism, greed, politics and the creation of legacy. It's a fantastic and compelling story albeit one that is tragically true.
