DAVID LANDAU immigrated to Israel from the United Kingdom as a young man. His career in journalism began in 1972 at The Jerusalem Post, and he joined Haaretz in 1993 as news editor. He was the founder and editor in chief of the Haaretz's English edition from 1997 to 2004, and is currently the Israel correspondent for The Economist. Landau collaborated with Israel's president, Shimon Peres, on his memoir, Battling for Peace (Random House, 1995). He published, with President Peres, Ben-Gurion, A Political Biography (Nextbook/Schocken, 2012). He is the author of Piety and Power (1993), an account of the increasingly significant role the ultra-orthodox ("haredi") play in Israel, the United States, and Europe. Landau graduated in law from University College, London and studied in leading yeshivas in Israel. Landau is married with children and grandchildren and currently lives in Jerusalem.
