Kol Nidrei: Its Origin, Development, and Significance, Stuart Weinberg Gershon's 1994 monograph from Jason Aronson, is a scholarly study of the prayer's legal (halakhic) content and its documented reception history, including its use in antisemitic polemic and its bearing on the historical more judaico oath imposed on Jews. Its strength is direct engagement with that legal content and history. Its limit is that a single volume covers a great deal of reception history relatively briefly; specialist claims about particular episodes should be checked against dedicated scholarship.
