Lights of Mankind: Earth At Night As Seen From Space. From Keeney’s bestseller by the same title.

Speaker. Lecturer. Panelist.

"Keeney’s passion is to unearth the lost voices of American history  -- stories of unselfish sacrifice, as he calls them -- and through those voices bring out the character of the nation we live in today."

“He spoke to a packed house! Mr. Keeney is a highly energetic speaker with a passion for his audiences.  He delivers a fast-paced, presentation using photos, videos, and audio clips.  An exceptional presenter, capturing the interest of the attendees and invoking humor here and there. His knowledge of the subject matter was a 10/10 scale.”” Caroline E. Chair, Food For Thought Lecture Series

Recently given on Oceania’s Mariner (Transatlantic ) and the lead-off for the Food For Thought Lecture series. Keeney is author of the acclaimed book by the same title and presents engaging material from it. Earth at Night as Seen From Space is visual feast with the images of our cities at night as seen and photographed by our astronauts including a video segment that "flies" from New York to London to Italy and ends over Cairo -- all at night.  Dozens of stunning images, including a where-are-we-now segment that audiences love.  Engages people intellectually and fascinates them visually. A unique presentation from the author/expert on the subject.

Speaking at The Filson Club in a typical small group setting. Topic: The Eleventh Hour (Wiley) 

From Fox TV discussing The Tehran Conference and my book The Eleventh Hour, a book on that event.
