Salvador Borrego Escalante (24 April 1915 – 8 January 2018) was a Mexican journalist and historical revisionist writer.[1][2][3]
He published fifty-three books in fields such as military history, politics, economics, journalism, philosophy and religion. His work bore heavy criticism and he has been accused of anti-Semitism because he places international Jewish capital and Zionist ideology as the cause of World War II.[4]
Borrego has been considered by some critics and readers as an apologist and sympathizer of fascism.[5]

Some historians consider historical revisionism as a strongly politically-determined pseudohistory. While some of them are highly-regarded historians trying to decipher past events to shed light on new discoveries, others pretend to influence their readers and manipulate them in a political way. In Mexico, the historian Salvador Borrego is considered as a revisionist. The dangers of this way of researching the past are evident through the example of a radical version of it: the denial of the Holocaust, by a group that claimed to be historical revisionists that arose after the Second World War. They disputed, with little or no evidence, widely accepted facts about the Holocaust inventing hypotheses such as the fact that no Jews were gassed or that the Holocaust was a Zionist conspiracy
