The Sacklers, the Opioid Crisis, and the American Dream Turned Nightmare
In an interview with Agata Kasprolewicz, Patrick Radden Keefe discusses his book, „Empire of Pain.”
„This is the story of the Sackler family, who first embodied the American Dream and then contributed to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans. The drug meant to kill pain began to kill people,” says Keefe.
He emphasizes that „Empire of Pain” is more than just a narrative about the opioid epidemic; it is first and foremost a compelling family saga of wealth, power, and devastating corporate accountability.
