The Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) has for the first time made possible mid- and far-infrared spectroscopic studies of nearby and moderate redshift, dusty ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs). We discuss recent SWS, LWS, ISOPHOT-S and ISOCAM (CVF) results on ULIRGs, addressing the following topics: What powers ULIRGs? What is the AGN-starburst connection? How do ULIRGs evolve? What is the connection of the local ULIRG population to the recently discovered population of mid-IR to submillimeter sources?
