The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- He is considered one of the earliest practitioners of the so-called New Journalism, in which storytelling techniques of fiction are adapted to non-fiction reportage.
- In 1999, Hiroshima, Hersey's account of the aftermath of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, was adjudged the finest work of American journalism of the 20th century by a 36-member panel associated with New York University's journalism department.

ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 70 and blocks with 58: each hit it takes is cut by 23 %.
