Depending upon the version of The Bible used (with Apochryphal writings it is 16), and if you consider the Nation of Israel, the Hebrews, and Jews as synonomous, then the 'history' books number 12 from Joshua through to Esther. A note is important here as all books in the Bible have historical aspects to them. See related link below listing the 12:

How did the covenant shape Jewish history?
The covenant between God and the Israelites ensured that the Jews (a.k.a. Israelites) would always keep the Torah. This, in turn, led the Jews to study Torah, to maintain a scholarly class among Jews, to write books of commentary and Jewish thought (so the Torah wouldn't be inaccessible due to lack of understanding on our part), and to keep ties between the various Jewish communities (so Judaism wouldn't inadvertently split into different religions).The keeping of the Torah's commands created many ramifications, such as Jews having supported the poor, maintained synagogues and places of Torah-study, ascertained a supply of kosher food, etc.See also:What_is_the_covenant_of_the_Hebrew_peoplehttp://judaism.answers.com/jewish-history/timeline-of-jewish-history

Why is it so hard to distinguish Jewish history from Jewish faith?
Answer 1Because throughout the history of Judaism there have been many rebellions and groups that branched off like the Hellenists and the Bar'yonim (a group of hotheaded people who wanted to go to war with the Romans during their Great Siege of Jerusalem).Answer 2Jews are expected to learn from their history. History provides lessons and is a source for examples of these lessons, which illustrate some of our beliefs. Our Sages discuss at length (Talmud, Sotah 11-13) the principle that God causes historical events to reciprocate people's behavior. This was the meaning, for example, of the conversation in Genesis 42:21-22; see also Genesis 42:28 and 44:16). Thus, events are granted as a feedback mechanism which hinges on our behavior and we may use them to strengthen our sense of God's supervision and Providence, which is part of our faith.Answer 3I would beg to differ to the fact that Jewish History and Jewish Faith are very confusable. Jewish History is the string of events that have defined Jewish interaction with the myriad of countries under whose rule, the Jewish people have lived. As for Jewish Faith, this is the Jewish understanding of the Natural and Supernatural World and how a person can bring themselves to the highest moral quality in the World of the Living. What makes Judaism unique with respect to Christianity or Islam is that the Jewish people function as one unit regardless of which countries they live in, creating an ethno-religious group. Like any ethnicity, Jews have a collective history. Like any religion, Jews have an understanding of the World beyond mere physical perception.Read more about Jewish History and Jewish Beliefs and Practices at the Related Questions below.
Why was Queen Esther important to the history of the Jewish religion?
A:History books record events known to have happened, along with interpretations of those events. When historians look at the Book of Esther, they realise that this is not a book of history, as there are far too many historical errors. Among other things, the chronology of Persian history is wrong and there is no historical record of Esther or of her predecessor, Vashti. Furthermore, Queen Amestris is accepted by historians as Xerxes' only wife for the first several years of his reign. The consensus is that the Book of Esther is a second-century-BCE novel, written centuries after the events portrayed, and therefore Queen Esther is not directly relevant to the history of Judaism. However, the Book of Esther has had considerable impact on Jewish tradition and Jewish religious practice. The annual celebration of Purim is based on the book, which actually calls for a celebration of the events portrayed (Esther 9:26-32).
