Two things I like about Fraser's Guardian piece are that he appreciates Nietzsche's deep religiosity and the role that his worship of power played in the development of Nazi ideology. Both of these points should infuriate leftists which of course constitutes an excellent recommendation of them.
See Nietzsche and National Socialism. Soteriology in Nietzsche and the Question of the Value of Life contains some discussion of Fraser's Nietzsche book.
As for Nietzsche's religiosity, here is the way I put it in one of my aphorisms: "His was the throbbing heart of the homo religiosus wedded to be bladed intellect of the skeptic."
