		Coventry is the ninth largest city in England with a population of 304,746 (2002 estimate).

	HMS Coventry D118 - Four Weeks In May
		Despite that, it is a brilliant history of one ship's contribution to the campaign to liberate the Falkland Islands and never falls into the trap that other similar works have of concentrating too much on either the overall conduct of the war or of the minutiae of day to day life onboard ship.
		The story is begun with sufficient background about the Type 42 in general and the Coventry in particular to give those unfamiliar with the subject a good idea of the ship's capabilities and her vital position within the Task Force.
		The book stands out for me in two ways; first of all the Captain manages to keep it centred on Coventry while filling in enough background about what is happening to other ships to ensure you are always aware what part Coventry is playing.
