It seems that all would have to be relegated to the history books...


Explanation:
Informally, an English (American-English) speaker would say, "Well, that's one for the history books," but this doesn't really appear to capture the essence of the passage. The writer appears to be concluding an argument or debate by saying that, in essence, time will tell who is right or who is wrong.
