I believe it to have a broader perspective relating in great detail the competition between Westinghouse and the Naval Torpedo Station (NTS) and NTS' reluctance to accept any faults in it's precision made torpedoes.
It also relates the frantic mobilization of US scientist and 'brain capacity' of all kinds to work in the weapons industry in general as well as on the urgent task of getting the US torpedoes 'right'
On the other hand this book goes much more into the details of the impact on morale among submarine captains and their crews as well as top brass, like Admiral Lockwood's and Chief of BuOrd William H. "Spike" Blandy's roles in what is called 'the torpedo scandal'.
So, actually, I'd recommend you to read both books
