I mean, while there's certainly a bias towards the victor, there's definitely some histories that have slipped through from people who were very much not the victors. Josephus comes to mind, even if he did so by surrendering to the victors; Thucydides and Athens lost the Peloponnesian War; for a more recent example, the American South's narrative on the Civil War.
