Yes, I have. It's an academic tome that is very thoroughly researched but in places a little hard work to read.
Extensive analysis of Joe's quotes and lyrics. Has loads of references and footnotes. I found some of it thought provoking from a personal perspective.
Fairly decent review here

I've yet to get hold of a copy of this, however I came across this interview with the author from 2022 and it seems rather interesting.
