I've considered this. I honestly don't believe that Sauron could have written a history and make it look good. It would be like the chap who wrote 'Inside the Third Reich'...he was on Hitler's side, but he couldn't make it look good. Sauron, of course, is the author of all the evil that would have happened, and he would have done his utmost to make it look alright in the end, but how can you turn what he would have done to make it look good?

Yes, winners do of write the history, but you have to consider what kind of history there would be if the winners that won were the loosers? In America people argue and argue over who was right and who was wrong during the Civil War...had the South won, what would they have been? America wouldn't be all one people right now, and....well, now adays there aren't slaves, but there would have been for some time longer, the people in the South weren't half as educated as those in North before the war, and would have remained uneducated after the war, if they had won. But they didn't win. The North did and the North wrote the history, got a lot of things wrong, true, but things are better because of it.

Or, you have the French Revolution. After it and during it, everyone saw the people putting to death all the aristocrats, acting as horrible, blood thirsty morons who had no right nor reason behind what they did! The Revolution pulled through, but the history they wrote is stained and black and no one thinks they're right.

So, my point being, even if Sauron should have won that war and written the history, it wouldn't have been able to be like the history the Union wrote after the Civil War, but would have appeared more like the one that the French wrote after their famous Revolution.
