Como refleja su título, el presente trabajo estudia el pensamiento socialista español en el período que se extiende desde la caída de la República Española en 1939 hasta la manifestación de la inviabilidad de pacto entre socialitas y - monárquicos en julio de 1951. Dentro de este marco cronológico, el profesor Sainz se interesa por el tema central que ocupó a los socialistas de entonces: cómo restaurar la democracia en España con el menor coste para la convivencia social tras la anulación traumática de la misma a partir de 1936 con la sublevación militar Partiendo de estudios históricos fraccionados, el autor elabora una síntesis del pensamiento socialista hispano respecto al trascendental problema de la restauración de la vida democrática en España. Para ello va rastreando las posiciones socialistas ante los diferentes organismos de la época: las Cortes, su Diputación Permanente, la Presidencia de la República y la jefatura del gobierno, La J.A.R.E y el S.E.R.E, la Junta Española de Liberación, la Alianza nacional de Fuerzas democráticas. La figura señera del socialismo de esta época es la de Indalecio Prieto / As its title indicates, this work Studies Spanish socialist thought in the period stretching from the demise of the Spanish Republic in 1939 to the manifestation of the impossibility of the socialist – monarchist pact in July 1951. Within this chronological framework, professor Sainz examines the greatest dilemma facing the socialists at the time: namely, how, with the least disruption to the Spanish social fabric, to restore the democracy so traumatically curtailed by the military uprising of 1936. The author charts the socialist positions vis-a-vis the different state bordies in the periad: the Cortes, the latter's Permanent Delegation, the Republic Presidency and goverrnment leadership, the S.E.RE. and the J.A.R.E., the Spanish Liberation Committee, the National AlIiance of 1 Democratic Forces, etc. The tension between the communists and the other opposition groups in Spain comes to the fore in the question of the Spanish National Union The most widely documented years are the ones which see contacts between the monarchists and the socialists under Prieto. The latter half of 1947 and the whole of 1948 are periods of quite frenetic negotiations. Documentary evidence reveals the constant reticence and ambivalence as well as the ruses employed by the monarchist spokesmen. The figurehead of socialism at the time and, without doubt, one of its greatest ever exponents is Indalecio Prieto. It is the level-headed and tireless nature of this socialist, democrat and liberal which most captures the author's attention. The hundred or so documents itemised from the Luis Jiménez de Asúa, Francisco Largo Caballero and manuel Albar Catalán, archives makes Professor Sainz Orteda’s study particularly attractive
