Dopesick: Dealers, Doctors, and the Drug Company that Addicted America

The definitive account of America's opioid epidemic, "Dopesick" masterfully interlaces stories of communities in crisis with dark histories of corporate greed and regulatory indifference.

Beth Macy takes us into the epicenter of a national drama that has unfolded over two decades, from boardrooms to courtrooms and into the living rooms of Americans.

With unsparing, compelling, and unforgettably humane portraits of families and first responders determined to ameliorate this epidemic, each facet of the crisis comes into focus.

This extraordinary work will leave readers with a gripping, unputdownable story of greed and need, and a deeper understanding of how America's opioid addiction has persisted for so long and become so firmly entrenched.
