Fraser of North Cape gives a strong account of Fraser, Scharnhorst's destruction, and the wider naval story. Its foreword is less reliable when it suggests that Fraser designed the last Royal Navy battleships. Director of Naval Construction Reginald Henderson held responsibility for overall ship design, while Fraser's role concerned ordnance. The distinction matters because those responsibilities were different.
