Born to Burn examines how unhealed history continues to shape present-day behavior. Drawing on decades of forensic and behavioral work, Dr. Mozelle Martin explores how war, famine, plague, cruelty, instability, and collective trauma can leave effects that persist long after the original events have ended.

The book looks at the ways inherited stress, historical injury, and repeated human suffering can influence fear, conflict, personality, culture, and public behavior across generations. Rather than treating modern volatility as disconnected from the past, Born to Burn places contemporary behavior within a longer history of wounds that were never fully resolved.

It also examines how trauma can be carried through families, communities, and social systems, and why patterns of violence, instability, and fear can reappear even when the people involved did not personally experience the original event.

For readers interested in trauma, human behavior, intergenerational influence, history, and the lasting consequences of collective suffering, Born to Burn offers a concise examination of how the past continues to shape the present.
