The perfect example of the loser writting history must be the Germans after WW2. The allies captured many of the generals and took much of what they said as true.
The myths spread about this are still around today. The most important one is the primitive red army and its human wave attacks. When in reality the quite often just out generaled as well.
Western history had developed a huge fetisch for German generals like Rommel that is mostly undeserved.
Luckly after the fall of the USSR we were able to find out a lot more about the Soviet side. Equalling out story.
