I really don't find too much in the preface, I just thought it was a decent introduction (after all, written by the author) to the book. If I had to be specific though:

> the role of the American corporate socialists, otherwise known as the Wall Street financial elite or the Eastern Liberal Establishment, in three significant twentieth-century historical events: the 1917 Lenin- Trotsky Revolution in Russia, the 1933 election of Franklin D. Roosevelt in the United States, and the 1933 seizure of power by Adolf Hitler in Germany.

> Contemporary academic histories, with perhaps the sole exception of Carroll Quigley's Tragedy And Hope, ignore this evidence.

> universities and research organizations, dependent on financial aid from foundations that are controlled by this same New York financial elite, would hardly want to support and to publish research on these aspects of international politics

> business manipulation of Hitler's accession to power in March 1933 that is the topic of Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler

I think just those four things offer plenty of intellectual red-meat that is very interesting to explore.
