We discuss how gamma-ray spectroscopy provides information about the acceleration and transport of electrons and ions in solar flares, and their interaction with the solar atmosphere. Temporal studies illuminate differences in the acceleration and transport of electrons and ions. Nuclear line studies reveal the elemental abundance, density, and temperature of the ambient solar atmosphere; and the spectrum, composition, and directionality of the accelerated ions.
