Is there any case in history where the victors didn't write the history books?

Unfortunately, this is not a question we allow in this subreddit. It is simply too unspecified and you will get a lot of speculative and non-expert answers.

However, to actually answer your question: The victors do not write history. That is something all historians agree on. It is the writers, or rather, the historians that write history and you will find that actual serious history books are very balanced. You can read this post for further clarification.

However, to give you a proper answer if there is any situation in history where the information we have of it in our history books is from the losers: Yes. There is one situation which I am certain you know of: The Vietnam War. Since Vietnam since 1975 have been a dictatorship, Vietnamese sources (primary and secondary) have been very difficult in being acquired by western historians.
