"Unsettled is the inside story of Purdue's excruciating Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, the company's eventual restructuring, and the Sackler family's evasion of any true accountability. It's also the untold story of how a group of determined ordinarypeople tried to see justice done against the odds-and in the face of brutal opposition from powerful institutions and even government representatives"-- Provided by publisher.
