Joseph B. Keenan

Joseph B. Keenan

Joseph Berry Keenan (1888-1954) was a United States political figure. He served in the administrations of US Presidents Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman, and was the chief prosecutor in the International Military Tribunal for the Far East.

He graduated from Brown University in 1910 and went on to study at Harvard Law School. Keenan served with the 137th Field Artillery during World War I and later with the Judge Advocate Generals Department. After retiring from military, he became an assistant to the U.S. attorney general and director of the Criminal Division of the Justice Department. He was known for his skills in balancing budgets, which Senator Truman admired and ultimately led Keenan to be appointed chief prosecutor for the post-World War II war crimes trial for Japan, IMTFE.
