Henson) clashing over school integration with C.P. Ellis ( Sam Rockwell ), the Exalted Cyclops of the North Carolina Branch of the Ku Klux Klan.

   Is the best of enemies a good book?

   • The Best of Enemies tries to remind us that simple solutions might exist if we could open our minds, but it undercuts itself by shortchanging its black female lead and ending on a very maudlin note that lacks punch.
