Details of Jewish history are scattered throughout all the books of the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible), and the pages of the Talmud.
Those books that have relatively large amounts of historical information are: Genesis, the first half of Exodus, Numbers ch.9-36, Joshua, Judges, Samuel, Kings, Chronicles, Ruth, Esther, Daniel, Ezra and Nehemiah.
For a history of the Talmudic period, see (among other sources) the Letter (Iggeres) of Rav Sherira Gaon, which is available in English and was written about 1000 years ago.

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).
