This bibliography has many articles apparently discussing Fisher's
views on p values. Can someone recommend a good book on the history of
statistics, especially one focusing on Fisher's accomplishments.
Fisher's contributions and prickly personality are dealt with
tangentially in Provine's wonderful biography of Sewall Wright. Surely,
Fisher has merited one or more scholarly biographies of his own.
