It is unfortunate for the author of Pharma that Empire of Pain was released not long after the publication of his book, because around a third of Pharma focuses on the Sacklers so there is quite a bit of overlap. Both books are worth reading, despite their intimidating weights. Pharma is meticulously researched. It gives a history of the pharmaceutical industry in the US, and reveals that there are other bad guys in the industry (pharmacy benefit managers and companies who exploit orphan drug loppholes) besides the Sacklers.
