Life
Sánchez studied after school history , and was also active as a journalist. Early on, he took on leading positions within the APRA, and a suspension of opinion between him and José Carlos Mariátegui about the Stalinization of the party led Mariátegui to leave the APRA in 1928 and found the Partido Socialista del Perú . During the times of dictatorships in Peru he was in exile several times .
He later became professor and, from 1946 to 1948, for the first time rector of the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos , which was founded in 1551 and , after the Universidad Autónoma de Santo Domingo, is the oldest university that still exists today on the American continent.
Between 1956 and the beginning of the military dictatorship of Juan Velasco Alvarado in 1968, he was a member of the then still existing Senate , the upper house of Congress . From 1961 to 1963 he was rector of the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos and took over this office again from 1966 to 1971, after he was also President of the Senate from July 1966 to July 1967.
In 1978 he was elected a member of the Constituent Assembly for two years before being a member of the Senate again from 1980 to 1992.
On May 15, 1989, following the resignation of Armando Villanueva del Campo , Sánchez was appointed Prime Minister of Peru by President Alan García and thus de facto also Vice-President. The nationally and internationally respected intellectual only held this office for a few months until he was replaced by Guillermo Larco Cox on May 30, 1989.

In addition to these activities, he was also the author of numerous specialist books on historical and literary topics that were published throughout the Spanish-speaking area .
