Requests:  1 Summary:  The Sacklers are one of the richest families in the world, known for their lavish donations to the arts and the sciences. The source of the family fortune was vague, however, until it emerged that the Sacklers were responsible for making and marketing a blockbuster painkiller that was the catalyst for the opioid crisis. Keefe begins with the three doctor brothers, Raymond, Mortimer and Arthur, who weathered the poverty of the Great Depression and appalling anti-Semitism. Working at a barbaric mental institution, Arthur conducted groundbreaking research into drug treatments, devised the marketing for Valium, and built the first great Sackler fortune. Forty years later the template he created to sell Valium was employed to launch a far more potent product: OxyContin. -- adapted from jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hanapepe Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.29309 Ke Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult New Books 362.29309 Ke Damaged Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 362.29309 Ke Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.29309 Keefe Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.29309 Ke Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.29309 Ke Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.29309 Ke Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.29309 Ke Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.29309 Ke Checked In Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.29309 Ke Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
