Understanding the War Within is a quest for level 70 in Valdrakken. It is step 71 of 71 in The Emerald Dream storyline, the final step. It rewards 1,200 experience and money.
I fear your time in Valdrakken must come to an end.
Dark forces gather to threaten other parts of Azeroth. We will do what we can to uncover Iridikron's schemes.
You must learn more of what has unfolded.

The Tome of History is between the flight master and the auction house in Valdrakken at 46.27 60.31.

This seems to be a simple breadcrumb in Valdrakken, leading players to the Tome of History for the new Recap feature. On my main (which had completed all the Dragonfllght questlines previously) I was able to simply pick it up from Alexstrasza and turn it in at the Tome.
