I do have this one by Tim Travers, which sounds like it treads similar ground, but also covers the pre-war views on tactics.
The Killing Ground.
It's a very good book.
I like that. Haig apologetic. A deft little poisoning of the well.
The description of the book is even better

In general, historians of the First World War are in two hostile camps: those who see the futility of lions led by donkeys on the one hand and on the other the apologists for Haig and the conduct of the war.
Sounds perfectly unbiased to me!
Just ordered both books.
