Take a look here, a friend of mine was using this as a reference for course work.

Also try 'Dreadnaught' by Robert K. Massie. Lots of background but Bio of Adm Fisher up to WW1.

Ditto, but must add "Castles of Steel" by the same author. Carries on where "Dreadnought" leaves off. Both books read like novels and are well indexed if you just want the Fisher bits.
