该书是一部半自传体小说。邓贤的祖父是四川有名的民营资本家。抗战时期，邓贤的父亲作为"富二代"、"学生兵"参加远征军，并在中美英盟军中服役。该书即是以父亲的亲身经历为线索，融汇他对中国远征军几百名亲历者的采访细节，全面再现中国军人在滇缅印战场以巨大的牺牲所换回的那一场绝无仅有的胜利。(My Father's Life in 1942 is a semi-autographical novel by Deng Xian. Deng Xian's grandfather was a famous private capitalist of Sichuan. During the Anti-Japanese War period, Deng Xian's father, a second-generation rich student, joined the expeditionary army and served for the allied forces of China, America and Britain. The book, taking his father's personal experience as the mainline, reappears the history of how Chinese soldiers in the China-Burma- India Theater sacrificed themselves to win the unprecedented victory during World War II on the basis of his interview of several soldiers from the expeditionary army.)
