ebook/Google Book
Overy, R.J. The Inter-War Crisis, 1919-1939. 2nd ed., Pearson Longman, 2007, books.google.es/books?id=g8peEM-S8BEC. Accessed 18 Sept. 2022.
* Note that only the root url is required--just enough for the IB reader to get to the "front cover" of the ebook. Do not copy super long urls unless they are necessary for access. Note also that the 'https://' portion of the url is not included in the Work Cited. Finally, remember that it is necessary to supply an access date for this and all websites/electronic resources that you've used in your research.
For either a physical book or an ebook/Google Book, this is what your in-text citation should look like when you paraphrase or quote from this book:
...and consequently throughout the world" (Overy 107).
In this example, the in-text citation tells your reader that the quote/paraphrase came from page 107 of Overy's book.
