In two previous papers with Yi-Jen Lee, we defined and computed a notion of
Reidemeister torsion for the Morse theory of closed 1-forms on a finite
dimensional manifold. The present paper gives an a priori proof that this Morse
theory invariant is a topological invariant. It is hoped that this will provide
a model for possible generalizations to Floer theory.
