This book tells not only about the biggest medical scandal of the last 30 years – how the Sackler family, owners of the pharmaceutical company producing the addictive drug OxyContin, 'hooked' America on it. The story of four generations of... the Sackler family is much broader and deeper. It is about the formation of modern pharmaceuticals, the secrets of the pharmaceutical business, and the impact of drug advertising on society. And although the book is strictly documentary, it accommodates a business novel, a medical investigation, courtroom chronicles, behind-the-scenes secrets of American politics and culture, and even love stories. The author brilliantly presents a century-long chronicle of one family against the backdrop of the development of the USA.
