OxyContin didn’t just spark a crisis. It lit the match on a slow-motion national collapse. PURDUE is a brutal, unflinching exposé of the company that built a business model on human pain, addiction, and silence. From the Sackler dynasty’s quiet grip on the pharmaceutical industry to the FDA’s deadly approval stamp, this book pulls no punches. Follow the rise of a white-collar cartel. Witness how addiction became an asset class. And see how America got sold its own death, one prescription at a time. JJ tears down the polite version of the opioid crisis and shows you what really happened behind the scenes. This isn’t just a story of one company. It’s the blueprint of a system built to profit from harm and walk away clean.
