The essential aspects of the cosmic gamma-ray burst (GRB) phenomenon are reviewed with emphasis of recent results. In particular, the energy spectra of GRBs are presented to demonstrate that the origin of some GRBs involves neutron stars. Counterpart searches are briefly reviewed, and the statistical properties of bursters are discussed. Finally, attention is given to extragalactic and Galactic GRB models and to the assessment of future prospects. 72 refs.
