About This Item
NY: Doubleday. Near Fine in As New dust jacket. 2021. Stated First Edition. Fourth Printing. Hard Cover. 0385545681 . Family Trees on endpapers. Includes extensive Notes and Index. Empire of Pain is the saga of three generations of a single family and the mark they would leave on the world, a tale that moves from the bustling streets of early twentieth-century Brooklyn to the seaside palaces of Greenwich, Connecticut, and Cap dAntibes to the corridors of power in Washington, D.C. It follows the familys early success with Valium to the much more potent OxyContin, marketed with a ruthless technique of co-opting doctors, influencing the FDA, downplaying the drugs addictiveness. Empire of Pain chronicles the multiple investigations of the Sacklers and their company, and the scorched-earth legal tactics that the family has used to evade accountability.. A couple of corners turned down but now righted, else as new; unmarked, tight, square, and clean. The unclipped ($32.50) dust jacket is in perfect, pristine condition. NEAR FINE/AS NEW. . Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall. xii, (i), 535, (1) pp .
