Hadronic B decays

Abstract

I briefly summarize the factorization approach to hadronic B decays emphasizing theoretical results that have become available recently. The discussion of its application to data is abridged, and only the determination of gamma=(71\pm 5) degrees from time-dependent CP asymmetries is included in some detail.
