Peter Kornbluh (born 1956) is the director of the National Security Archive's Chile Documentation Project and Cuba Documentation Project.

Kenneth Maxwell wrote a review in the November/December 2003 issue of Foreign Affairs, creating a controversy about Henry Kissinger's involvement in Operation Condor.[citation needed] Kornbluh won a 1990 James Aronson Award honorable mention for writing on Central America in The New Yorker.[citation needed]
