Allen was the father of four children, including Michael Allen, a political news journalist.

Allen died as the result of a liver ailment in 1986 in Long Beach, California, at the age of 50.

In 1971, Allen co-wrote a book titled None Dare Call It Conspiracy with Larry Abraham. It was prefaced by U.S. Representative John G. Schmitz of California's 35th congressional district, the nominee of the American Independent Party in the 1972 U.S. presidential election. It sold more than four million copiesWallis W. Woods, Introduction to 1990 edition by Buccaneer Books during the 1972 presidential campaign opposing Richard Nixon and U.S. Senator George S. McGovern.

In this book, Allen and Abraham assert that the modern political and economic systems in most developed nations are the result of a sweeping conspiracy by the Establishment's power elite, for which he also uses the term Insiders. According to the authors, these Insiders use elements of Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto to forward their socialist/communist agenda:

1. Establish an income tax system as a means of extorting money from the common man;
2. Establish a central bank, deceptively named so that people will think it is part of the government;
3. Have this bank be the holder of the national debt;
4. Run the national debt, and the interest thereon, sky high through wars (or any sort of deficit spending), starting with World War I.Michael Billig and Jovan Byford, "The emergence of antisemitic conspiracy theories in Yugoslavia during the war with NATO", Patterns of Prejudice, October 2001

He quotes the Council on Foreign Relations as stating in its 1959 No. 7 study on behalf of the United States Senate: "The U.S. must strive to: A. Build a new international order."[https://archive.org/download/basic-aims-of-united-states-foreign-policy.-study-prepared-at-the-request-of-the/Basic%20Aims%20of%20United%20States%20Foreign%20Policy.%20Study%20prepared%20at%20the%20request%20of%20the%20Committee%20on%20Foreign%20Relations%2C%20United%20States%20Senate%2C%20by%20Council%20on%20Foreign%20Relations%20%5BNo.%207%5D%20%28November%2025%2C%201959%29.pdf Basic Aims of United States Foreign Policy.] Study Prepared at the Request of the Committee on Foreign Relations, United States Senate, by Council on Foreign Relations.

In February 1980, Allen began a working relationship with research assistant Sam Wells, whose work Allen's writings would depend upon until his death.North, Gary. "Extremism in the Pursuit of Historical Truth." [https://www.garynorth.com/ garynorth.com], January 13, 2016. Archived from [https://www.garynorth.com/public/14726.cfm the original.] Wells continued his work after Allen's death, assisting his widow with the publication of his newsletter of political and economic analysis.[https://archive.today/20120716154916/http://laissez-fairerepublic.com/samwells.htm "Interview with Sam Wells."]Committee for Economic Freedom, December 2002.

Allen wrote other books about the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission, asserting that the term New World Order was used by a secretive elite working towards the destruction of national sovereignty. Allen's last book, Say "No!" to the New World Order, was published posthumously in January 1987.
