In his new book, 'Empire of Pain', journalist Patrick Radden Keefe explores the Sackler family's Purdue Pharma pharmaceutical empire and the part it played in the opioid crisis.

TORONTO -- For decades, the Sackler family was known for its philanthropy and patronage of art galleries, museums and universities.

But as the number of lawsuits against Purdue has grown in recent years – now some 2,600 in all -- Keefe found another source of information in court documents. For his book, Keefe takes a look at the family starting years before OxyContin was in development, when the patriarch Arthur Sackler and his two brothers began in pharmaceuticals, scoring their first big hit with the drug Valium and showing a particular marketing savvy.
