NOTES / RESEARCH - NOT PART OF LISTING
I verified that yours is the original1974 Department of the Army edition and first printing, not the later 1989 printing or one of the modern reprints. The Army's current catalog identifies Bernard W. Rogers as the author, while library records confirm the 1974 Department of the Army publication and 172-page format.
The first-printing designation is worth emphasizing. An antiquarian bookseller currently has a 1974 first printing listed at$25, while other first-edition copies are currently offered roughly in the mid-teens to mid-$20s depending on condition.An listing for another version shows two copies sold at $15, although that does not establish the value of your exact copy.
For yours, because of the pencil name and cover wear, I would probablylist at $24.99–$29.99 and accept offers around $18–$22. I would not describe the pencil writing as an inscription or signature because there is no evidence it belongs to anyone significant.
One other useful point: this isn't just a generic later Vietnam history book. The U.S. Army describes it as an analysis of the two 1967 operations and their significance to tactical doctrine, which gives you good collector/search terminology without overstating rarity.
