A history book that doens't detail or even mention war would be a very thin book. It's important to study war, especially if you want to prevent it.
At any rate, it's not history that revolves around war, it's historians that do. You'll find very few knowledgeable historians who were not soldiers at one time. As any soldier would, these guys wish to put an end to all war, so they try to educate others on the subject. Most civilians don't feel that same sense of civic duty, hence they don't write history books.
