After receiving his master's degree from the Sorbonne and Sciences Po, he completed a Ph.D at the Paris West University Nanterre La Défense. As a fellow of the École française de Rome, he initiated the study of socialism in France and Italy, becoming one of the first comparative historians in France.[ citation needed ] He was invited to the TU-Berlin in Germany as a guest professor as the recipient of the Alexander von Humboldt fellowship, under the supervision of Jürgen Kocka and Harmut Kaelble (ZVGE). D'Almeida also spent two years in Berlin at the Marc Bloch Center.

Upon his return to Paris he was promoted to director of the Institut d'histoire du temps présent (IHTP CNRS) and was then elected to be full professor at Panthéon-Assas University. He is now the director of Master Media and Globalization at the University. [1] [2] He was appointed publisher at Albin Michel in January 2015. [3]

His work with Antony Rowley, Et si on refaisait l’histoire ? is a reflection on French history. It was one of the first "What-If?" genre histories in France. [4]

d'Almeida's work has also formed the basis for several documentaries and TV films, such as "Love, Hate, and Propaganda." (CBC-Toronto) [5]

His book High Society Under the Third Reich is a systematic study using unpublished archival material, private diaries and diplomatic documents to explore the relationship between German high society and the Nazis.
