The volume that contains the books of 1 and 2 Maccabees is called the Apocrypha. Those books and several others considered noncanonical (not authoritative doctrinally) were ultimately excluded from the Jewish and Protestant renditions of The Bible, though historically they were included in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Jewish Bible), the Vulgate (a Latin translation of the Bible) and a number of other earlier translations, including Luther's Bible and the 1611 King James version. The Apocrypha are still included today, however, in the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox renditions of the Bible.

The HarperCollins Study Bible - New Revised Standard Version
Does the Bible mention Judas Maccabeus?
Judas Maccabeus is mentioned in 1 Maccabees and 2 Maccabees. These are considered 'deutero-canonical' books and are included in the Catholic Bible, but not the Protestant Bible.
Why were the Maccabees books left out of the bible?
1 Maccabees and 2 Maccabees actually are in the Catholic Bible, and can be read there. However, they were not accepted in the Hebrew Bible and are not in the Protestant Bible. One problem with the two books of Maccabees is that, although they were written around the same time and deal with the same period in Judean history, they are too much at variance as to what really happened. Moreover, 1 Maccabees is not really a religious document, while 2 Maccabees is considered by many to be simply too unrealistic to be taken seriously.
