One person's accuracy is another person's bias, etc. A few days ago one could be villified for suggesting white phosphorus was used in Gaza, whereas today to deny it would seem ridiculous - depending on the context, of course. Sorry, I know this isn't History 101!
Nechama Tec's book, on which the film is based, would be the next port of call for those interested in this topic. She seems to have given the film her blessing:
