The Baalbek community, in all its diversity, has played influential and effective roles in shaping a vibrant scene of positive interaction and fruitful encounters in this historic city. Its people were raised on love and coexistence in a single Baalbeki melting pot, looking towards a promising future and dreaming together of a free and prosperous nation. The municipal council is but a mirror reflecting that coexistence, where conflicts among the city's inhabitants were not based on sectarianism, but rather on political competition and a legitimate race to serve a city long deprived.

This book reflects the spirit of unity within the Baalbek community through municipal work over long periods of the twentieth century. It focuses specifically on the period between 1958 and 1970, examining the lives of the people of Baalbek, their social, cultural, and economic behaviors, their response to local and regional political developments, and their various roles in shaping the future of their dream homeland. It is a book that sheds light on important aspects of the history of a city that dreams of a bright tomorrow.
