Silvestri cites Riedel's extensive research and experience which help in making his book, Avoiding Armageddon: America, India, and Pakistan to the Brink and Back, "one of the most accurate and interesting analyses of the tangled relationship between Washington, New Delhi and Islamabad." Silvestri sees this book as of interest to scholars of South Asia and young students as well as researchers.JOURNAL, Silvestri, Francesca, Avoiding Armageddon: America, India and Pakistan to the Brink and Back- Book Review, Political Studies Review, 12 January 2015, 13, 1, 157â158, 10.1111/1478-9302.12073_89, 220076267, Roman Chestnov calls it a "comprehensible" and "concise" study of the relationship between India, Pakistan and the United States.JOURNAL, Chestnov, Roman, Avoiding Armageddon: America, India, and Pakistan to the Brink and Back - Book Review, The Hague Journal of Diplomacy, 2015, 10, 1, 108â110, 10.1163/1871191X-12341298,Personal life
