Macabees 1 and 2 are good reading. Talk about a battle.Here is a link to the UVA Bible site (which has a complex search capacity and browse ability). It contains the Maccabbees.
The search capacity on this site has significantly expanded my familiarity with some of the more obscure details of the bible. (I just went there and it is unfortunately down tonight...the first time I have actually every known it to be down).
But here is the link anyway...

The "Book of Maccabees" is not part of the Hebrew Tanakh. The Masoretic "Old Testament" was closed a couple hundred years earlier at the end of the Babylonian exile.
